Let the numbers be A and B.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"B=2A%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"3A=B%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 1 into eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"3A=B%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3A=%282A%2B1%29%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3A=2A%2B7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then use eq. 1 to solve for B,
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=2A%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=2%287%29%2B1=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
