Let
\n" ); document.write( "One Number = x
\n" ); document.write( "Other Number = y
\n" ); document.write( "==========================================
\n" ); document.write( "one number is 11 more than another number
\n" ); document.write( "x=y+11................(1)
\n" ); document.write( "their sum is 45
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=45.................(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of x from (1) to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "y+11+y=45
\n" ); document.write( "2y+11=45
\n" ); document.write( "2y=45-11
\n" ); document.write( "2y=34
\n" ); document.write( "2y/2=34/2
\n" ); document.write( "y=17\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of y in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x=y+11
\n" ); document.write( "x=17+11
\n" ); document.write( "x=28
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================
\n" ); document.write( "One Number = x = 28 <----------- (larger of two numbers)
\n" ); document.write( "Other Number = y = 17
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
