The difference of 2 numbers is 10. The sum of the numbers is 14. What are they?
\n" ); document.write( "Sol'n:
\n" ); document.write( "let: x- the greater number
\n" ); document.write( "y-the smaller number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-y=10 ---(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y=14 ---(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "add the two equation:
\n" ); document.write( "2x=24
\n" ); document.write( "x=12
\n" ); document.write( "y=2
\n" ); document.write( "thus 2 & 12 are the number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "^_^
