\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the smaller number.  Then (x+10)is the larger
\n" );
document.write( "2(x+10)-x = 50
\n" );
document.write( "simplify and Solve
\n" );
document.write( "2x + 20 -x = 50
\n" );
document.write( "x = 30
\n" );
document.write( "larger number would be 40
\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "2*40 - 30 = 50 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
