let larger number be x
\n" ); document.write( "smaller number be y
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=42....................1
\n" ); document.write( "x=3y-2
\n" ); document.write( "x-3y=-2...................2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "multiply 1 by 3
\n" ); document.write( "3x+3y=126
\n" ); document.write( "add this to 2
\n" ); document.write( "4x=126-2
\n" ); document.write( "4x=124
\n" ); document.write( "/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=31
\n" ); document.write( "y= 11
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 31&11
\n" ); document.write( "...
