Simplify this:
\n" ); document.write( "x = smaller number
\n" ); document.write( "x + 12 = larger number
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2(x + 12) = 39
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x + 24 = 39
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "5 and 17 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
