I suppose \"Separate 65 into two parts\" means write 65 as a sum of two numbers, like
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2Bb=65\" (Feel free to use x and y if you don't feel they are overused).
\n" ); document.write( "Translated into algebreeze, \"3 times the larger is 6 more than 6 times the smaller\" is written as
\n" ); document.write( "\"3a=6%2B6b\" (I decided to make a the larger and b the smaller).
\n" ); document.write( "\"3a=6%2B6b\" can be simplified (dividing everything by 3) into
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=2%2B2b\", which can be substituted into \"a%2Bb=65\" to give
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2B3b=65\"--->\"3b=65-2\"--->\"3b=63\"--->\"b=63%2F3\"--->\"b=21\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=2%2B2b\"--->\"a=2%2B2%2A21\"--->\"a=2%2B42\"--->\"a=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
