Two numbers, a & b
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"two integers have a mean of 170.\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28a%2Bb%29%2F2\" = 170
\n" ); document.write( "a + b = 2(170)
\n" ); document.write( "a + b = 340
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the first number is 4 times the second number.\"
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In the 1st simplified equation, substitute a with 4b
\n" ); document.write( "4b + b = 340
\n" ); document.write( "5b = 340
\n" ); document.write( "b = 340/5
\n" ); document.write( "b = 68
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find a
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4(68)
\n" ); document.write( "a = 272
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this by finding the mean of these two numbers\r
