Let 68-x = Larger Number
\n" ); document.write( " x = Smaller Number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of two no. is 68.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "68-x + x = 68\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "When the larger no. is divided by the smaller one, we get 2 as quotient and 5 as remainder.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(68-x)/x = (2)+(5/x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(68-x)/x = (2x/x)+(5/x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both side by x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "68-x = 2x+5
\n" ); document.write( " 63 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( " 21 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x for 21\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "68 - 21 = 47\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The Larger number is 47 while the smaller number is 21.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "47 + 21 = 68\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "47/21 = 2 remainder 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
