Let
\n" ); document.write( "One number = x
\n" ); document.write( "Another number = y
\n" ); document.write( "==================================================
\n" ); document.write( "Given
\n" ); document.write( "One number is five more than four times another
\n" ); document.write( "x+5=4y
\n" ); document.write( "x-4y=-5………………(1)
\n" ); document.write( "Their sum is 35
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=35……………..(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Minus (2) from (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x-4y=-5………………(1)
\n" ); document.write( "-x-y=-35……………..(2)
\n" ); document.write( "-5y=-40
\n" ); document.write( "y=-40/-5
\n" ); document.write( " y=8
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of y in (2)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=35……………..(2)
\n" ); document.write( "x+8=35
\n" ); document.write( "x=35-8
\n" ); document.write( "x=27
\n" ); document.write( "=================================================
\n" ); document.write( "One number = x=27
\n" ); document.write( "Another number = y=8
\n" ); document.write( "==================================================
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "Put the values of x and y in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x-4y=-5………………(1)
\n" ); document.write( "27-4(8)=-5
\n" ); document.write( "27-32=-5
\n" ); document.write( "-5=-5
\n" ); document.write( "Put the values of x and y in (2)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=35……………..(2)
\n" ); document.write( "8+27=35
\n" ); document.write( "35=35
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
