Let the numbers be x and y
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+-+y+=+8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+-+y%5E2+=+88\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-y%29%28x%2By%29+=+88\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8+%2A%28x%2By%29+=+88\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+y+=+11\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-y+=+8%29%29%29%0D%0A%7B%7B%7Bx%2By+=+11\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+19\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+9.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which makes y = 1.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Test your answer. Does $\"9.5%5E2+-+1.5%5E2+=+88\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
