If their sum is sixty-five, what are the numbers? \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You know that: \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You also know: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Substitute this for y in your equation and you get: \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add: \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 7 to both sides: \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2: \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you know that your first number is 36. To find the second number, use y=x-7. \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract: \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So now you know that your first number is 36, and your second number is 29. To check, add the two together, and it should equal 65. \n" ); document.write( " \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add: \n" ); document.write( " |
