Let the two numbers be x and y
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+y+=+76\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+-+y+=+22\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use elimination method - add the two equations to get
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x++++=+98\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+49\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for y in either of the 2 original equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"49+-+y+=+22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-y+=+-27\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+27\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Does 49+27 = 76?
\n" ); document.write( "
