y = 10/3x
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+y) = 19 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+10/3x) = 19 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "2x+20/3x = 19 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "6x+20x = 58 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "26x = 58 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "y = 10/3*2 1/4 = 7 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------\
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "The doubled sum of these numbers is 19 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "2(2 1/4+7 1/2) = 19 1/2 Correct
