x = larger
\n" ); document.write( "x - 5 = smaller {smaller is 5 less than larger}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + x - 5 = 105 {sum of the two numbers is 105}
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 5 = 105 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 110 {added 5 to each side}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 55 {divided each side by 2}
\n" ); document.write( "x - 5 = 50 {substituted 55, in for x, into x - 5}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "55 and 50 are the two numbers
\n" ); document.write( "
