Let the numbers be \"a\" and \"b\"
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+1%2Fa+%2B+1%2Fb+=+7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+1%2Fa+-+1%2Fb+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Just add the equations
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2A%28+1%2Fa+%29+=+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+=+10a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+1%2F5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+1%2Fa+%2B+1%2Fb+=+7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+5+%2B+1%2Fb+=+7+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+1%2Fb+=+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+b+=+1%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 1/5 and 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
