Let's the large number be L and small number be s \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L - s = 27\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4L = 6s \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "s = 4L/6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L - (4L/6) = 27 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6L - 4L = 27 * 6 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2L = 162\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L = 81 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "81 - s = 27
\n" ); document.write( "s = 81 - 27
\n" ); document.write( "s = 54\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two numbers are 81 and 54
