\"One number is 6 more than another\" translates to:
\n" ); document.write( "one number = x; another number = (x+6)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If the sum of the smaller number and 3 times the larger number is 34,
\n" ); document.write( " x + 3(x+6) = 34
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find the two numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3(x+3) = 34
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3x + 18 = 34
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 34 - 18
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 16
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16/4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Obvious \"another\" number is; 4 + 6 = 10
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
