\n" );

document.write( "I was thinking it would look something like:
\n" );
document.write( "x(2+x) = 22 + 7(2+x)
\n" );
document.write( "x (2 +x) - 7(2+x)-22 = 0

document.write( "x^2 + 9 - 36
\n" );
document.write( "which you would then factor to get the two numbers. The answer is 9 and 11. I am not sure how you get this answer. Thank you for your help! \n" );
