Let A and B be your numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2FB=6%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"A-B=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "From eq.1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"5A=6B\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use that in eq. 2 after multiplying it by 5,
\n" ); document.write( "\"5A-5B=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6B-5B=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28+B=40%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now use either equation to solve for A.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A-B=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A-40=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28+A=48%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
