You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x = the first number
\n" ); document.write( "2x-3 = the second number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now solve \"x%2B2x-3=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=33\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=11\"
\n" ); document.write( "the first number is 11, and the second number is \"2%2A11-3=19\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
