Call the numbers x and y. Then we have
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 111
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3y + 11
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute that into the first equation and get
\n" ); document.write( "3y + 11 + y = 111
\n" ); document.write( "4y + 11 = 111
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 100
\n" ); document.write( "y = 25
\n" ); document.write( "x = 111-x = 86
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
