Let x = the 1st number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Two numbers have sum of 32.
\n" ); document.write( "If the 1st number = x, then the 2nd number = (32-x)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the second is five less than four times the first,\"
\n" ); document.write( "(32 - x) = 4x - 5
\n" ); document.write( "32 + 5 = 4x + x
\n" ); document.write( "37 = 5x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "what are the two numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "x = 37/5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7.4 is the 1st number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the 2nd number:
\n" ); document.write( "32 - 7.4 = 24.6 is the 2nd number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"the second is five less than four times the first,\"
\n" ); document.write( " 24.6 = 4(7.4) - 5
\n" ); document.write( " 24.6 = 29.6 - 5; confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
