Let
\n" ); document.write( "Smaller Number = x
\n" ); document.write( "Larger Number = y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sum of the numbers is 52
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=52................(1)
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller and 5 times the larger is 184.
\n" ); document.write( "x+5y=184..............(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract (1) from (2)
\n" ); document.write( "x+5y=184
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=52
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4y=132
\n" ); document.write( "4y/4=132/4
\n" ); document.write( "y=33\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of y in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=52
\n" ); document.write( "x+33=52
\n" ); document.write( "x=52-33
\n" ); document.write( "x=19\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Smaller Number = x = 19
\n" ); document.write( "Larger Number = y = 33\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
