Let
\n" ); document.write( "Larger Number = x
\n" ); document.write( "Smaller Number = y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Given
\n" ); document.write( "=====
\n" ); document.write( "The Difference Of Two Numbers is 26
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=26...........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "The Larger Number Is Eight More than twice The Smaller
\n" ); document.write( "x=2y+8.......(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of x from (2) to (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=26
\n" ); document.write( "2y+8+y=26
\n" ); document.write( "3y+8=26
\n" ); document.write( "3y=26-8
\n" ); document.write( "3y=18
\n" ); document.write( "3y/3=18/3
\n" ); document.write( "y=6
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of y in (2)
\n" ); document.write( "x=2y+8
\n" ); document.write( "x=2(6)+8
\n" ); document.write( "x=12+8
\n" ); document.write( "x=20\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Larger Number = x = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Smaller Number = y = 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
