\"The sum of 2 numbers is 61. The numbers are 5 apart. What are they?\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one number
\n" ); document.write( "x - 5 = other number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + x - 5 = 61 {sum of the two numbers is 61}
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 5 = 61 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 66 {added 5 to both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33 {divided both sides by 2}
\n" ); document.write( "x - 5 = 28 {substituted 33, in for x, into x - 5}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "33 and 28 are the two numbers
