let numbers be x and y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=13.....eq 1
\n" ); document.write( "x=2y+1.....eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "that would make the small number y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "take x's value from eq 2 and plug it into eq 1 and solve for y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2y+1+y=13
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3y=12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y=4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
