if 3 times the larger of the two numbers is divided by the smaller, than the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 2.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a = the larger no,
\n" ); document.write( "b = the smaller
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%283a-2%29%2Fb\" = 4
\n" ); document.write( "3a - 2 = 4b
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides b 4
\n" ); document.write( ".75a - .5 = b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "using the equation, here are a few of the many integer solutions
\n" ); document.write( "b = .75a - .5
\n" ); document.write( " a | b
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( " 2 | 1
\n" ); document.write( " 6 | 4
\n" ); document.write( "10 | 7
\n" ); document.write( "14 |10
\n" ); document.write( "18 |13 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
