Let A be the smaller number and B the larger.
\n" ); document.write( "1) B = A+5 \"One number (B) is 5 more than another (A)\"
\n" ); document.write( "2) 5*A = 4*B \"5 times the smaller (A) equals 4 times the larger (B).\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 1) into 2)
\n" ); document.write( "3) 5*A) = 4*(A+5) Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "3a) 5A = 4A+20 Subtract 4A from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "3b) A = 20 and...
\n" ); document.write( "1a) B = A+5
\n" ); document.write( "1b) B = 20+5
\n" ); document.write( "1c) B = 25
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are: 20 and 25
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
