Divided 56 into two parts such that three times the first part exceed one third of second by 48.
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Part one:: x
\n" ); document.write( "Part two:: 56-x
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "3(56-x)-(1/3)x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "168 - 3x - (1/3)x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "-10/3 x = - 120
\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "56-x = 20
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
