Let the two numbers be x and y
\n" ); document.write( ":. x + y = 49----eqn(i)
\n" ); document.write( "Let's assume x is greater than y by 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 + y ----eqn (ii)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x in eqn(I)
\n" ); document.write( "(5 + y) + y = 49
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 2y = 49
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 49 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 44
\n" ); document.write( "y = 44/2
\n" ); document.write( "y = 22
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for y in eqn(ii)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 + (22)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 27
\n" ); document.write( ":. The two numbers are 22 and 27
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
