You can write this problem algebraically this way:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B10%29%2Bx=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=16-10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=6%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "You can check your result by substituting this value in the original equation to ensure it matches.
\n" ); document.write( "So, one number is x+10=13
\n" ); document.write( "the other is x=3
\n" ); document.write( "When you add them both, your result is 16. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
