\n" ); document.write( "let: x -the larger number
\n" ); document.write( "y-the smaller number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y=80 ---(1)
\n" ); document.write( "x=2y+11 ---(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from (2):
\n" ); document.write( "x-2y=11
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=80
\n" ); document.write( "=======
\n" ); document.write( "-3y=-69
\n" ); document.write( "y=23
\n" ); document.write( "for x:
\n" ); document.write( "x=80-23=57\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "thus: x=57 & y=23 ---answer
