Just choose a simple number and see how it behaves...
\n" ); document.write( "Let's say your smaller number is 3. If the difference between them is 5, then the larger must be 3+5 or 8.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's say your smaller number is 7. If the difference between them is 5, then the larger must be 7+5 or 12.
\n" ); document.write( "In fact no matter what your smaller number is, you're going to add five...
\n" ); document.write( "So...if the smaller number is r, then the larger must be r + 5.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
