For this kind of problem, I would start with
\n" ); document.write( "\"x\"= the tens digit
\n" ); document.write( "\"y\"= the ones digit
\n" ); document.write( "\"10x%2By\"= the value of the original number
\n" ); document.write( "\"10y%2Bx\"= the value of the number with the digits interchanged\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 8 translates as
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=8\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The number with the digits interchanged is 16 less than thrice the original number translates as
\n" ); document.write( "\"10y%2Bx=3%2A%2810x%2By%29-16\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have two equations. You can simplify the second one a bit:
\n" ); document.write( "\"10y%2Bx=3%2A%2810x%2By%29-16\"--->\"10y%2Bx=30x%2B3y-16\"--->\"10y%2Bx-30x-3y=-16\"--->\"7y-29x=-16\"--->\"29x-7y=16\" .
\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28x%2By=8%2C29x-7y=16%29\"--->\"system%28y=8-x%2C29x-7y=16%29\"--->\"system%28y=8-x%2C29x-7%288-x%29=16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "--->\"system%28y=8-x%2C29x-56%2B7x=16%29\"--->\"system%28y=8-x%2C36x-56=16%29\"--->\"system%28y=8-x%2C36x=16%2B56%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. The units digit of a two-digit number is one less than one-half the tens digit translates as
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%281%2F2%29x-1\"--->\"2y=2%28%281%2F2%29x-1%29\"--->\"2y=x-2\"--->\"2y%2B2=x\" .
