The sum of two numbers is less than or equal to 18. The second number is 8 less than the first. What are the possible values for the first of the two numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Let F = first nuumber\r\n" );
document.write( "Let S = second number\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then\r\n" );
document.write( "\"system%28F+%2B+S+%3C=18%2C%0D%0AS+=+F+-+8%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute \"%28F-8%29\" for S in \"F%2BS%3C=18\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"F%2B%22%5B%28F-8%29-S%29%5D%22%3C=18\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\"F%2BF-8%3C=18\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\"2F-8%3C=18\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\"2F%3C=26\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\"F%3C=13\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The first number is less than or equal to 13.\r\n" );
