\n" ); document.write( "let x is big number
\n" ); document.write( " y is the small number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x+ y = 35 ............................... (1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-5 = 2y ========> x - 2y = 5 ............ (2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1) - (2) =======> 3y = 30 =======> y = 10
\n" ); document.write( " then x = 35 - 10
\n" ); document.write( " x = 25\r
