let x be the smaller number
\n" ); document.write( "let 5x be the bigger number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x + x = 114
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 114
\n" ); document.write( "6x/6 = 114/6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 19 smaller number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "bigger number = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "= 5(19)
\n" ); document.write( "= 95\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "checking:
\n" ); document.write( "smaller number + bigger number = 114
\n" ); document.write( "19 + 95 = 114
\n" ); document.write( "114 = 114
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
