L - S = 11, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The top equation gives L = S + 11. \n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides of the bottom equation by S, we get L = 2S + 4. \n" ); document.write( "Hence S + 11 = 2S + 4, or S = 7, the smaller number, and L = S + 11 = 18, the larger number. \n" ); document.write( " |
