Ten times the first number exceeds the second by five.
\n" ); document.write( "Represent the numbers by n and 7n + 19.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "n = the 1st number
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(7n+19) = the 2nd number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation
\n" ); document.write( "10n = (7n+19) + 5
\n" ); document.write( "10n = 7n + 24
\n" ); document.write( "10n - 7n = 24
\n" ); document.write( "3n = 24
\n" ); document.write( "n = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that is true in the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "10(8) = (7(8) + 19) + 5
\n" ); document.write( "80 = 56 + 19 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
