Let x+12 = Larger Number
\n" ); document.write( " x = smaller Number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two numbers that have a difference of 12
\n" ); document.write( "x+12-x = 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and a quotient of 3
\n" ); document.write( "x+12/x = 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side by x
\n" ); document.write( "x+12 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( " 12 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( " 6 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x for 6
\n" ); document.write( "6+12 = 18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 18 and 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "18 - 6 = 12
\n" ); document.write( " 12 = 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " 18/6 = 3
\n" ); document.write( " 3 = 3
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
