\n" ); document.write( "Let x = smaller number
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+10 = larger number
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+10 = 50
\n" ); document.write( "2x+10 = 50
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 (smaller number)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Larger number:
\n" ); document.write( "x+10 = 20+10 = 10
