y=4x-7 y= the larger number
\n" ); document.write( "x = the smaller number.
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=28
\n" ); document.write( "x+4x-7=28
\n" ); document.write( "5x=28+7
\n" ); document.write( "5x=35
\n" ); document.write( "x=35/5
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "y=4*7-7
\n" ); document.write( "y=28-7
\n" ); document.write( "y=21 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "7+21=28
\n" ); document.write( "28=28
\n" ); document.write( "
