\n" ); document.write( "\"The sum of two numbers is two more than their product.\"
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "You got the part \"the sum of two numbers\" right, as x + y\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You got the word \"is\" right as an equal sign\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now all you have to do is figure out how to write\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"two more than their product\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Think of it as \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"their product plus two\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now think of \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"their product\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "as \"what you get when you multiply x times y\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "When you multiply x times y you write them side-by side as xy.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"their product plus 2\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "is just\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "xy plus 2\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now what is the equation?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
