You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x =smaller no.
\n" ); document.write( " X+5= larger no.
\n" ); document.write( "thrice the larger; that is 3(x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "Twice another number = 2x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We make equation. If the sum of 2numbers is 50 then ,we write
\n" ); document.write( "3(x+5) + 2x = 50
\n" ); document.write( "3x+15 +2x = 50 solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "5x= 50-15
\n" ); document.write( "5x/5= 35/5
\n" ); document.write( "X= 7 is the smaller no.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for larger number by substituting;\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "X+5= 7+5= 12 is the large no.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Checking
\n" ); document.write( "Subs. To equation 3(x+5) + 2x =50
\n" ); document.write( " 3(7+5) + 2(7)= 50
\n" ); document.write( " 3(12) +14 =50
\n" ); document.write( " 36+14=50
\n" ); document.write( " 50 =50 true\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 7 and 12.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
