\n" ); document.write( "let x=larger of two numbers
\n" ); document.write( "let y=smaller of two numbers
\n" ); document.write( "xy=24
\n" ); document.write( "x=24/y
\n" ); document.write( "y/x=2/3

\n" ); document.write( "48/y
\n" ); document.write( "3y^2=48
\n" ); document.write( "y^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "y=4
\n" ); document.write( "x=24/y=6
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller of the two numbers is 4 \n" ); document.write( "
