The sum of the two whole numbers is 45
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 45
\n" ); document.write( "y = (45-x)
\n" ); document.write( " and their difference is less than 10.
\n" ); document.write( "x - y < 10
\n" ); document.write( "x < y + 10
\n" ); document.write( "x < (45-x) + 10
\n" ); document.write( "2x < 55
\n" ); document.write( "x < 55/2
\n" ); document.write( "x < 27.5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 27
\n" ); document.write( " The number of all possible pairs is???
\n" ); document.write( "x=27, y=18, a diff of 9
\n" ); document.write( "x=26, y=19, a diff of 7
\n" ); document.write( "x=25, y=20, a diff of 5
\n" ); document.write( "x=24, y=21, a diff of 3
\n" ); document.write( "x=23, y=22, a diff of 1
\n" ); document.write( "5 pairs possible with, using only positive number differences\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
