\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A%282n%2B1%29+=+5%2An+%2B10\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and Solve for n
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6n%2B3+=+5%2An+%2B10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2B3+=+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=+7\"$ the two numbers are 7 and 15
\n" ); document.write( ".
