The result of the two digits being equal means this is a multiple of 11;
\n" ); document.write( "so use an extra variable, n, for either of these resulting digits.
\n" ); document.write( "Your multiple of 11 is some 11*n, and n must be a digit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your unknown number, \"10t%2Bu\";
\n" ); document.write( "t for your tens, u for your ones.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your transcribed information will then be
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28t%2Bu=10%2C10t%2Bu-8=11n%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28t%2Bu=10%2C10t%2Bu-11n-8=0%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"u=10-t\"
\n" ); document.write( "substitute.
\n" ); document.write( "\"10t%2B%2810-t%29-11n-8=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9t-11n%2B2=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9t=11n-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=%2811n-2%29%2F9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pick to test values of whole number n from 1 to 9 to find which will give
