\n" ); document.write( "Smaller number= $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Larger number= $\"2x-7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2x-7=146\"$ , WORKING EQN
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=146%2B7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=153\"$ -----> $\"cross%283%29x%2Fcross%283%29=cross%28153%2951%2Fcross%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=51\"$ , smaller number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2A51-7=102-7=95\"$ , bigger number
\n" ); document.write( "In doubt? Go back WORKING EQN,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"51%2B2%2A51-7=146\"$
