You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+n+\"$ = the smaller number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+6+\"$ = the larger number
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%2A%28+n+%2B+6+%29+=+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%5E2+%2B+6n+-+27+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+n+%2B+9+%29%2A%28+n+-+3+%29+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%2B6+=+9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 3 and 9
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "also, the other solution is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+-9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+6+=+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are -3 and -9
\n" ); document.write( "also\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
