sum of the two numbers is 28
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=28
\n" ); document.write( "y=28-x.........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "One number is eight less than five times another
\n" ); document.write( "x=5y-8
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of y in above equation
\n" ); document.write( "x=5(28-x)-8
\n" ); document.write( "x=140-5x-8
\n" ); document.write( "x+5x=132
\n" ); document.write( "6x=132
\n" ); document.write( "6x/6=132/6
\n" ); document.write( "x=22
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=28-22
\n" ); document.write( "y=6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Numbers are 22, 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
