One number = x, and another number = y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "One number is 3 units larger than twice another number.
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y + 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If their sum is zero,
\n" ); document.write( " x + y = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find the two numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (2y+3) for x in the equation, x + y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(2y+3) + y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "2y + y + 3 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "3y = -3
\n" ); document.write( "y = -1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find x:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (-1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = +1
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
