Let the first number be - x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the second number be - x+18
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "the sum of the numbers is - 92
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Required equation -\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x+(x+18) = 92
\n" ); document.write( " x+x+18 = 92
\n" ); document.write( " 2x+18 = 92
\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 92-18
\n" ); document.write( " 2x = 74
\n" ); document.write( " x = 74/2
\n" ); document.write( " x = 37
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "So,the first number - x = 37
\n" ); document.write( " the second number - x+18 = 37+18 = 55
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore , the numbers are 37 and 55
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================
