The sum of two numbers is 55. The qoutient obtained by dividing the larger number by the smaller number is 2, with a remainder of 7. Find the two numbers.

\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 55
\n" ); document.write( "x/y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 55
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "2y + y = 55
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 55
\n" ); document.write( "y = 55/3 = 18 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2(55/3)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 115/3 = 36 2/3
