You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the smaller number = s \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the largest number = l\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "According to first condition i.e When a smaller number is subtracted from a larger number the difference is 34,,,,we get the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "l - s = 34...............(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "According to second condition i.e larger number is 30 less than 3 times the smaller number,,,,we get the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "l = 3s - 30 ...or....\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "l - 3s = -30..............(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By applying elimination method in (1)(2) you can get the answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
