\r\n" );
document.write( "If one number is x, then the other number is  \"16%2Fx\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the sum of the numbers is  (x + \"16%2Fx\").\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus the function they ask for is  sum(x) = x + \"16%2Fx\".    ANSWER\r\n" );
