wow im dizzy just reading this
\n" ); document.write( "two digit number will be: \"ab\" and ab=\"10a%2Bb\" ex:10(1)+2=12
\n" ); document.write( "so \"10a%2Bb=2%2B3b\"
\n" ); document.write( "interchanged means \"ba\" which is \"10b%2Ba\"
\n" ); document.write( "so \"10b%2Ba=4%2810a%2Bb%29-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "now we have 2 equations solve one equation for 1 variable then use substitution in other equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"10a%2Bb=2%2B3b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10a=2%2B2b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=%281%2Bb%29%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"10b%2Ba=4%2810a%2Bb%29-24\"simplify
\n" ); document.write( "\"10b%2Ba=40a%2B4b-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6b=39a-24\" substitute a
\n" ); document.write( "\"6b=39%28%281%2Bb%29%2F5%29-24\"distribute 39
\n" ); document.write( "\"6b=%28%2839%2B39b%29%2F5%29-24\" multiply all by 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"30b=39%2B39b-120\" add like terms
\n" ); document.write( "\"30b=39b-81\"add 81 and subtract 30b
\n" ); document.write( "\"81=9b\"divide
\n" ); document.write( "\"9=b\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=%281%2Bb%29%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=%281%2B9%29%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=10%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "your number is \"highlight%2829%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "and interchanged is 92 lets check
\n" ); document.write( "\"10a%2Bb=2%2B3b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"29=2%2B3%289%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"27=3%289%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"27=27\"
\n" ); document.write( "correct
\n" ); document.write( "\"10b%2Ba=4%2810a%2Bb%29-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"92=4%2829%29-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"92=%28116%29-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"92=92\"
\n" ); document.write( "correct\r
