Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "*Note: Write as You Read
\n" ); document.write( "Let x and y represent the numbers where x=5y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+y)=x*y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x
\n" ); document.write( "2(5y + y )= 5y*y
\n" ); document.write( "10y + 2y = 5y*y
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12y+=+5+y%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "y= (12/5)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 12
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check your answer
\n" ); document.write( "2(12 + (12/5)) = 12*(12/5)
\n" ); document.write( "24 + 24/5 = 120/5 + 24/5= 144/5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
