let x, y be the two numbers
\n" ); document.write( " so , x+y = 7.25
\n" ); document.write( "one number is 0.25 less than another number
\n" ); document.write( " so x= 0.25+y
\n" ); document.write( " put x=0.25+y in equation x+y =7.25
\n" ); document.write( " (0.25+y)+y =7.25
\n" ); document.write( " 0.25+y+y =7.25
\n" ); document.write( " 0.25+2y =7.25
\n" ); document.write( " subtract 0.25 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " 0.25+2y-0.25 =7.25-0.25
\n" ); document.write( " 0.25-0.25+2y = 7.00
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "divide with 2 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " 2y/2 =7/2
\n" ); document.write( " y =3.5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " so , x= 0.25+3.5
\n" ); document.write( " x=3.75
\n" ); document.write( "sso numbers are 3.75 & 3.5 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
