\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"x\"$ =smaller number
\n" ); document.write( "So, $\"3%2B3x\"$ =larger number
\n" ); document.write( "As per condition, $\"x%2B3%2B3x=175\"$ , EQN 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=175-3=172\"$ ----> $\"cross%284%29x%2Fcross%284%29=cross%28172%2943%2Fcross%284%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=43%29\"$ , Smaller number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2B3%2843%29=3%2B129=highlight%28132%29\"$ , Larger number
\n" ); document.write( "Check,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"132%2B43=175\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"175=175\"$
