\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one number
\n" ); document.write( "3x = other number {one number is three times a second}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 20 = 3x + 6 {twenty added to smaller is six more than larger}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 14 = 3x {subtracted 6 from both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 14 {subtracted x from both sides}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7 {divided both sides by 2}
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 21 {substituted 7, in for x, into 3x}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7 and 21 are the two numbers
