The larger of two numbers is 8 more than twice the smaller. The sum of the numbers is 10 less than three times the larger. Find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "let the numbers be x & y. x is larger.
\n" ); document.write( "x=2y+8
\n" ); document.write( "x-2y=8........................1
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x+y =3x-10
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+y=-10.....................2
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1) by 2
\n" ); document.write( "2x-4y=16
\n" ); document.write( "add it to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+2x-4y+y=-10+16
\n" ); document.write( "-3y=6
\n" ); document.write( "/-3
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x-2y =8 from (1)
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of y
\n" ); document.write( "x-2*-2=8
\n" ); document.write( "x+4=8
\n" ); document.write( "x=8-4
\n" ); document.write( "x=4
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "-2, 4 are the numbers
