\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x-2%283x%2B1%29+=+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x-6x-2+=+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-2+=+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, first number is 6 and second is 19.\r
