\n" ); document.write( "let two numbers be \"x\" and \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then the product of two numbers is \"x%2Ay\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and, if one number (let say \"x\") is \"one\" less than \"twice\" the other number, then \"x=2y-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now substitute it in \"x%2Ay\" and you have \"%282y-1%29%2Ay=2y%5E2-y\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
