FIrst number is 10 less than 5 times second number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let second number be x
\n" ); document.write( "First number is then 5*x - 10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Product = \"x+%2A+%285%2Ax+-+10%29+=+120\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2Ax%5E2+-+10%2Ax+-+120+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+-+2%2Ax+-+24+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving for x, x = +6 or -4.
\n" ); document.write( "First number can be 20 or -30
\n" ); document.write( "Possible solutions are (20,6) and (-30,-4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solution for the above quadratic equation is shown through solver below.\r

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"1x%5E2%2B-2x%2B-24+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\" should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\": \"b%5E2-4ac=%28-2%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-24=100\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=100 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28--2%2B-sqrt%28+100+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-2%29%2Bsqrt%28+100+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-2%29-sqrt%28+100+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"1x%5E2%2B-2x%2B-24\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"1x%5E2%2B-2x%2B-24+=+1%28x-6%29%2A%28x--4%29\"
