:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the second number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "One number is seven more than a second number.
\n" ); document.write( "(x+7) = first number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Five times the first is 11 less than 4 times the second. Find the numbers\"
\n" ); document.write( "5(x+7) = 4x - 11
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 35 = 4x - 11
\n" ); document.write( "5x - 4x = -11 - 35
\n" ); document.write( "x = -46 is the second number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-46 + 7 = -39 is the 1st number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\" Five times the first is 11 less than 4 times the second.\"
\n" ); document.write( " 5(-39) = 4(-46) - 11
\n" ); document.write( "-195 = -184 - 11; confirms our solution \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
