\n" );
document.write( "Let the first number be F
\n" );
document.write( "Then 2nd is: 36 – F
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, 2F + F(36 – F) = 224
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Solve this quadratic to get TWO VALUES for the first number. Then determine the TWO VALUES for the 2nd number.\r
\n" );

document.write( "Then do a check!! \r
