\n" ); document.write( "The sum of \"2\" numbers is \"25\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=25\"........eq.1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One of the numbers exceeds the other by \"9\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=y%2B9\".......eq.2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=25\"........eq.1...substitute \"y%2B9\" for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B9%2By=25\"........solve for \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=25-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=16%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=8%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "go to \"x=y%2B9\".......eq.2.substitute \"8\" for \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8%2B9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=17%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your numbers are: \"highlight%288%29\" and \"highlight%2817%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
