x is larger number \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y is smaller number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 4y-14\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y = 66\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4y-14 + y = 66\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5y = 80\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y= 16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 4(16) - 14 = 64 - 14 = 50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 50 + 16 = 66 √
