document.write( "the sum of two \"positive\" integers\"highlight%28x%29\" and \"highlight%28y%29\"is 4 times the smaller\"highlight%28x%29\". 
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( " x + y = 4x   Or \"y+=+3x\"
\n" );

\n" );
document.write( "the positive difference of their squares is 8 times the larger
\n" );
document.write( " y^2 - x^2 = 8y
\n" );
