Let x = larger part ==> 224 - x = smaller part.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"x+=+2%28224+-+x%29+%2B+%281%2F2%29%28224+-+x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> \"x+=+%285%2F2%29%28224-x%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "<==> 2x = 1120 - 5x ==> 7x = 1120 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> x = 160, the larger part, while\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "224 - x = 64, the smaller part.
