\"The difference of two numbers is 89. One number is six less than triple the other. What are the two numbers?\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one number
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 6 = other number {one is six less than triple the other}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x - 6 - x = 89 {their difference is 89}
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 6 = 89 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 95 {added 6 to both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 47.5 {divided both sides by 2}
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 6 = 136.5 {substituted 47.5, in for x, into 3x - 6}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "47.5 and 136.5 are the two numbers
