$\"x\"$ and $\"x-19\"$ are the 2 numbers
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%28x-19%29%2B2x=254\"$ distribute
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x-133%2B2x=254\"$ add like terms and add 133 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x=387\"$ divide by 9
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=43\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-19=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "numbers are:43,24 \n" ); document.write( "
