Consider the intergers x and y.
\n" ); document.write( " When y is divided by x the remainder is 29.
\n" ); document.write( " When y is divided by x/2, the remainder is 13.
\n" ); document.write( " Determine x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let's start out with the assumption that x => 30 to get a remainder of 29
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 30 then y = 59
\n" ); document.write( " $\"59%2F30\"$ = 1, remainder of 29
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that works in
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2F%28x%2F2%29\"$ , remainder of 13
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"59%2F%2830%2F2%29\"$ = $\"59%2F15\"$ = 3 remainder of 13
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'm going to say x = 30 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
