X+Y+(10X+Y)=83
\n" ); document.write( "11X+2Y=83
\n" ); document.write( "10X+Y+X+Y=83 LET X=9 & Y=1
\n" ); document.write( "90+1+9+1=101 TOO LARGE LET Y=0
\n" ); document.write( "90+0+9+0=99 TOO LARGE. LET X=8 & Y=9
\n" ); document.write( "80+9+8+9=106 TOO LARGE. LET X=8 & Y=0
\n" ); document.write( "80+0+8+0=88 TOO LARGE. LET X=7 & Y=9
\n" ); document.write( "70+9+7+9=95 TOO LARGE. LET X=7 & Y=0
\n" ); document.write( "70+0+7+0=77 TOO SMALL. LET X=7 & Y=5
\n" ); document.write( "70+5+7+5=87. TOO LARGE. LET X=7 & Y=4
\n" ); document.write( "70+4+7+4=85. TOO LARGE. LET X=7 & Y=3
\n" ); document.write( "70+3+7+3=83. YAHOO WE FIND THE AGES OF THE BROTHER & SISTER.
\n" ); document.write( "THEY ARE 7 & 3.
\n" ); document.write( "GRAMPS AGE=7*10+3=73
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "11*7+2*3=83
\n" ); document.write( "77+6=83
\n" ); document.write( "83=83
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "SETTING UP A TABLE FOR X & Y WE FIND THAT THE X DIGIT=7 & THE Y DIGIT=3
\n" ); document.write( "X=7
\n" ); document.write( "Y=3
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "11*7+2*3=83
