You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two numbers, a & b, write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "one number is 8 more than another number.
\n" ); document.write( " a = b + 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " If the larger is divided by the smaller, the quotient is 2 and the remainder is 1.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28a-1%29%2Fb\" = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Replace a with (b+8), from the 1st equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28b%2B8%29-1%29%2Fb\" = 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28b%2B7%29%29%2Fb\" = 2
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by b
\n" ); document.write( "b + 7 = 2b
\n" ); document.write( "7 = 2b - b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 7
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "a = 7 + 8
\n" ); document.write( "a = 15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this in the 2nd statemet
\n" ); document.write( "/////////////////////////////////////////////////
\n" ); document.write( "Solution put into words
\n" ); document.write( "When 15 is divided by 7, the quotient is 2, the remainder is 1
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
