Let x = \"one number\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = \"another number\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"One number is 1 more than another doubled.\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y + 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " If their difference is 10, find the number
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (2y+1) for x in the above equation, find y
\n" ); document.write( "2y + 1 - y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "2y - y = 10 - 1
\n" ); document.write( "y = 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y + 1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2(9) +1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 19 is \"the number\"
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"One number is 1 more than another doubled\"
\n" ); document.write( "19 = 2(2) + 1
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
