Let x,y be the two numbers whose sum is 25
\n" ); document.write( " hence x+y= 25----------------eq(1)
\n" ); document.write( "one number is 10 more than other
\n" ); document.write( " hence x-y= 10........................eq(2)
\n" ); document.write( " solve eq(1) and eq(2) to get x, y
\n" ); document.write( " add both equation
\n" ); document.write( " x+y= 25
\n" ); document.write( " x-y= 10
\n" ); document.write( " ________
\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 35
\n" ); document.write( " _________
\n" ); document.write( "2x= 35
\n" ); document.write( "divie with 2 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2F2+=35%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x=+17.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " hence y = 17.5-10 = 7.5
\n" ); document.write( "Result : x= 17.5 & y=7.5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
