\n" );
document.write( "Let smaller number be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then larger number = S + 1
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, 4S = S + 1 + 44
\n" );
document.write( "4S = S + 45
\n" );
document.write( "4S - S = 45
\n" );
document.write( "3S = 45
\n" );
document.write( "S, or smaller number = , or 
\n" );
document.write( "Larger number: 15 + 1, or  \n" );
