one number is 25 greater than a second number.
\n" ); document.write( "a = b + 25
\n" ); document.write( " If the number is subtracted 3 times the greater number, the difference is 195.
\n" ); document.write( "3a - b = 195
\n" ); document.write( " Find the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "replace a with (b+25) from the first statement
\n" ); document.write( "3(b+25) - b = 195
\n" ); document.write( "3b + 75 - b = 195
\n" ); document.write( "3b - b = 195 - 75
\n" ); document.write( "2b = 120
\n" ); document.write( "b = 120/2
\n" ); document.write( "b = 60
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this, find a
\n" ); document.write( "a = 60 + 25
\n" ); document.write( "a = 85
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the statement
\n" ); document.write( "\"the number is subtracted 3 times the greater number, the difference is 195. \"
\n" ); document.write( "3(85) - 60 =
\n" ); document.write( "255 - 60 = 195 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
