smaller number = x

\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x+10=y
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=-10.....1
\n" ); document.write( "2y+3x=170...2
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1) by -2
\n" ); document.write( "-2y-2x=20
\n" ); document.write( "add to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "5x=190
\n" ); document.write( "/5
\n" ); document.write( "x= 38\r
