Let n= smaller #,,,Let m=larger #
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1) m-4 =n
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2) n+m = 4(m-n)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "from 2) n+m = 4m-4n
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "5n=3m
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "5/3 (n) = m
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "subst into (1)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "{5/3(n)] -4 = n
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 n =4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "n=6,,,,,,,,,from(1) m-4 = 6,,,,m=10
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check,,,(1) 10-4=6,,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ",
\n" ); document.write( "(2) 6+10 =16 = 4(10-4) = 4*4,,,,,ok\r
