The sum of two decimal numbers is 5.3. Their difference is 1.7, and their product is 6.3.
\n" ); document.write( "what are the two numbers
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an eq for the sum and an eq for diff, add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 5.3
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 1.7
\n" ); document.write( "------------adding eliminates y, find x
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 7.0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find y
\n" ); document.write( "3.5 + y = 5.3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5.3 - 3.5
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this by finding the product: 3.5*1.8 = 6.3 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
