Let x be the greater and y be the lesser number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two numbers sum to give an answer of 120
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=120................(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One number is 48 greater than the other number
\n" ); document.write( "x=y+48..................(2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of x from (2) to (1)
\n" ); document.write( "y+48+y=120
\n" ); document.write( "2y+48=120
\n" ); document.write( "2y=120-48
\n" ); document.write( "2y=120-48
\n" ); document.write( "2y=72
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 2 both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2y/2=72/2
\n" ); document.write( "y=36
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of y in (2)
\n" ); document.write( "x=y+48..................(2)
\n" ); document.write( "x=36+48
\n" ); document.write( "x=84\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So numbers are 84 and 36\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
