You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let two numbers be x and y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as per 1st condition;
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 3y
\n" ); document.write( "or x = 3y/2......(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "as per 2nd condition
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=20......(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "put the value of 'x' from (1) into (2) and we get
\n" ); document.write( "(3y/2) + y = 20
\n" ); document.write( "solve the equation and we get,
\n" ); document.write( "y = 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "put the value of 'y' into 2 and we get
\n" ); document.write( "x=12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hope this will help you\r
