Let x and y are two numbers
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=14......(1)
\n" ); document.write( "xy=40.......(2)
\n" ); document.write( "x=40/y
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "40/y+y=14
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by y both sides of above equation
\n" ); document.write( "40+y^2=14y
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrage above equation
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-14y+40=0
\n" ); document.write( "Now slove for y
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-10y-4y+40=0
\n" ); document.write( "y(y-10)-4(y-10)=0
\n" ); document.write( "(y-10)(y-4)=0
\n" ); document.write( "(y-10)(y-4)=0
\n" ); document.write( "y-10=0 or y-4=0
\n" ); document.write( "y=10 or y=4
\n" ); document.write( "put the value of y=10 in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=14
\n" ); document.write( "x+10=14
\n" ); document.write( "x=14-10
\n" ); document.write( "x=4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the one number is 4 the other number is 10 or if the one number is 10 other number is 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "difference of the numbers = 10-4=6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
