You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here's what you do!
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = \"one number\"
\n" ); document.write( "let y = \"another number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"One number is 8 times another number.\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"It is also 15 more than 3 three times the other number.\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3y + 15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "From the 1st statement, we know that x=8y, so replace x with 8y in the 2nd eq
\n" ); document.write( "8y = 3y + 15
\n" ); document.write( "8y - 3y = 15
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 15
\n" ); document.write( "y = 15/5
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'm going to leave something for you to do.
\n" ); document.write( "You can find x using the 1st equation (x=8y), then check both solutions in the 2nd statement
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How did you do on this? c\r
