You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First name your variables.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"A\" be the smaller number.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"B\" be the greater number.
\n" ); document.write( "Now translate the words into equations using your variables.
\n" ); document.write( "\"greater is 1 more than twice the smaller\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"B=1%2B2A\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"Three times the greater exceeds 5 times the smaller by 10\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"3B=5A%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute eq. 1 into eq. 2 for B, and solve for A.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%281%2B2A%29=5A%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2B6A=5A%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28A=7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=1%2B2%287%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"B=1%2B14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28B=15%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
