Let the smaller number = $\"+n+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The larger number = $\"+n+%2B+1+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+=+3%2A%28+n+%2B+1+%29+-+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+=+3n+%2B+3+-+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+=+3n+-+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"+2n+\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+n+-+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+1+=+16+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 15 and 16 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
