\"the sum of two numbers is 25. The greater number is 10 less than the product of 6 and the smaller number. Find the smaller number\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one number
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 10 {greater number is 10 less than product of 6 and smaller}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 6x - 10 = 25 {sum of two numbers is 25}
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 10 = 25 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 35 {added 10 to both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 {divided both sides by 7}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the smaller number is 5
