Let x be the smaller and y be the larger number
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of two numbers is 45
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=45
\n" ); document.write( "x=45-y........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "Twice the smaller number is three more the larger number.
\n" ); document.write( "2x=y+3.............(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of x from (1) to (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2(45-y)=y+3
\n" ); document.write( "90-2y=y+3
\n" ); document.write( "-2y-y=3-90
\n" ); document.write( "-3y=-87
\n" ); document.write( "-3y/-3=-87/-3
\n" ); document.write( "y=29
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of y in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "x=45-y........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "x=45-29
\n" ); document.write( "x=16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Numbers are 16 and 29\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Product of the numbers = 16*29=464\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
