\n" ); document.write( "the difference between two numbers is 13.Twice the smaller plus three times the larger is 129.What are the numbers?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the larger number be L\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then the smaller = L - 13\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We then have: 2(L - 13) + 3L = 129\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2L - 26 + 3L = 129\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2L + 3L = 129 + 26\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5L = 155\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L, or larger number = \"155%2F5\", or \"highlight_green%2831%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Smaller number = 31 - 13, or \"highlight_green%2818%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can do the check!! \r
