Let the two numbers be X and Y.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=Y%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X%2BY=18\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Y%2F2%2BY=18\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2F2%29Y=18\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Y=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=12%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
