5/2=X/(152-X)
\n" ); document.write( "2X=5*152-5X
\n" ); document.write( "2X+5X=760
\n" ); document.write( "7X=760
\n" ); document.write( "X=760/7
\n" ); document.write( "X=108.57142 IS THE LARGER PART.
\n" ); document.write( "152-108.57142=43.42858 IS THE SMALLER PART.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "108.57142/43.42858~2.5=5/2
\n" ); document.write( "
