L will represent the larger number and S will represent the smaller number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L%2BS=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L-3S=6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From this information, you know that L is a multiple of 3 because if you subtract 3S from it (3S is divisible by 3), you get 6 (which is also divisible by 3). \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To solve this, use guess and check. You can try 21, 18, 15, or 12. (These are the numbers divisible by 3 which are greater than the number you have to add to them to equal 22.)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"21+%2B+1+=+22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"21+-+3%281%29+=+18\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "21 is not the answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Try 18:
\n" ); document.write( "\"18+%2B+4+=+22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18+-+3%284%29+=+6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "18 is the correct answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To make sure, check 15 and 12.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"15+%2B+7+=+22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15+-+3%287%29+=+-6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"12+%2B+10+=+22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12+-+3%287%29+=+-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer is 18.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"18+%2B+4+=+22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18+-+3%284%29+=+6\"
