\n" ); document.write( "1st number= $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2nd number= $\"4x\"$ , four times the other number
\n" ); document.write( "The difference is 12----> $\"4x-x=12\"$ , EQN 1
\n" ); document.write( "Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x-x=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=12\"$ -----> $\"cross%283%29x%2Fcross%283%29=cross%2812%294%2Fcross%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4\"$ , 1st number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2A4=16\"$ , 2nd number
\n" ); document.write( "Check via EQN 1:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2A4-4=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16-4=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12=12\"$
