Let \"+N+\" be one of the numbers\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"One number exceeds another by 5\":
\n" ); document.write( "then the other is \"+N%2B5+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"The sum of their squares is 157\":
\n" ); document.write( "\"+N%5E2+%2B+%28N%2B5%29%5E2+=+157+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+N%5E2+%2B+N%5E2+%2B+10N+%2B+25+=+157+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2N%5E2+%2B+10N+-132+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+N%5E2+%2B+5N+-66+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28N-6%29%28N%2B11%29+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This quadratic has two solutions: \"+N=6+\" and \"+N=-11+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Consider N=6:
\n" ); document.write( "1st number=N=6, 2nd number=N+5=11\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Consider N=-11:
\n" ); document.write( "1st number=N=-11, 2nd number=N+5=-6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
