Write a simple equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of two numbers is 90.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 90
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " The second is 10 more than 4 times the first,
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "What are the two numbers? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since y = x+10 we can substitute it for y in the 1st equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+10) = 90
\n" ); document.write( " 2x + 10 = 90
\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 90 - 10
\n" ); document.write( " x = 80/2
\n" ); document.write( " x = 40
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 40 then obviously, y = 50, which is 10 more that x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
