one number is 10 less than a second number. twice the second number is 46 more than 4 times the first. Find the two numbers
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the numbers be \"x\" and \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x = y-10
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 4x+46
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 4(y-10)+46
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 4y-40+46
\n" ); document.write( "-2y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = y - 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = -3-10
\n" ); document.write( "x = -13
