Let the two numbers be x and x, then:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By+=+11\" Rewrite this as: x = y-11 and substitute in the equation below:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Ay+=+18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2811-y%29%2Ay+=+18\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"11y-y%5E2+=+18\" Rearrange into standard form for quadratic equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2-11y%2B18+=+0\" Solve by factoring.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-2%29%28y-9%29+=+0\" so that...
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+2\" or \"y+=+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "The two numbers are 2 and 9.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
