The sum of two numbers is 18. If twice the smaller number is 6 more than the larger, find the two numbers. (24.)
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Let one of the numbers be \"x\"; the other number is \"18-x\"
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "2x=(18-x)+6
\n" ); document.write( "2x=24-x
\n" ); document.write( "3x=24
\n" ); document.write( "x=8 ; 18-x= 10

\n" ); document.write( "The difference of two postive numbers is 16. One number is 3 times the other. Find the two numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "Let one of the numbers be \"x\"; the other number is \"x+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "x+16=3x
\n" ); document.write( "2x=16
\n" ); document.write( "x=8 ; x+16=24
