You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = one number
\n" ); document.write( "y = another number
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 20
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 - y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "6y - 2x = 48
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "6y -2(20 -y) = 48
\n" ); document.write( "6y - 40 +2y = 48
\n" ); document.write( "8y -40 = 48
\n" ); document.write( "8y = 88
\n" ); document.write( "y = 11
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "substitute
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20-y
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Always check the solution.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "6(11) -2(9) = ?
\n" ); document.write( "66 -18 = 48
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: The two numbers are 9 and 11.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done. \n" ); document.write( "
