Two numbers, a & B
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"The difference between the two numbers is equal to the double of the smaller number.\"
\n" ); document.write( " a - b = 2b
\n" ); document.write( " a = 2b + b
\n" ); document.write( " a = 3b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"If the quotient dividing one by the other is 3,\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"a%2Fb\"$ = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "Replace a with 3b
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3b%2Fb\"$ = 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "All we can say about this a = 3 times b, Any numbers with this relationship will work \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
