one number is 3 more than another. twice the larger number minus the smaller is 15. what are the two numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "twice the larger is 6 plus twice the smaller,
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "hence twice the larger minus the smaller is 6 plus the smaller, equals fifteen,
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "the smaller is then fifteen minus six equals nine,
\n" ); document.write( "the larger is then three plus nine, equals twelve.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Verification : twelve equals 3 plus 9, and twice twelve, twenty-four, minus nine, equals fifteen. (fifteen plus nine equals twenty-four).
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
