The sum of two numbers is eleven. Seven less than five times the smaller is equal to the larger.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the larger number be L, and the smaller, S\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then L + S = 11 ------ eq (i)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, L = 5S - 7 ----- L - 5S = - 7 ------- eq (ii)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6S = 18 ----- Subtracting eq (ii) from eq (i)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "S, or smaller = \"18%2F6\", or \"highlight_green%283%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Larger number = 11 - 3, or \"highlight_green%288%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can do the check!!\r
