\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "find the number if one number is 1/4 of other.
\n" ); document.write( "x/4 = y
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into:
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x - x/4 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Common denominator = 4
\n" ); document.write( "4x - x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "x - y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "8 - y = 6
\n" ); document.write( " -y = 6 - 8
\n" ); document.write( " y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
