You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the two numbers be x and y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as per 1st condition;
\n" ); document.write( "x-y = 9 .....(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as per 2nd condition;
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 5y
\n" ); document.write( "or x = 5y/2........(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "put the value of 'x' from (2) into (1)and we get
\n" ); document.write( "(5y/2) + y = 9
\n" ); document.write( "solve the equation and we get
\n" ); document.write( "y = 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "put the value of y in (1) and we get
\n" ); document.write( "x= 15\r
