The difference between two numbers is 11. Twice the smaller number plus three times the larger number 123. What are these numbers ? \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( "Then L - S = 11 ----- eq (i)
\n" ); document.write( "Also, 2S + 3L = 123 ------- eq (ii)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You now a system of 2 equations that you can solve using any method of your choosing.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This should give you L, or larger number being $\"highlight_green%2829%29\"$ , and S, or smaller number being $\"highlight_green%2818%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
