Smaller number: x
\n" ); document.write( "Larger number: y
\n" ); document.write( "Then $\"y+=+18%2Bx\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Also $\"5%2Ay+=+4%2Ax%2B100\"$ so, by substituting y from the first equation, we get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2A%2818%2Bx%29+=+4%2Ax%2B100\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2Ax%2B90+=+4%2Ax%2B100\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+10\"$ so larger number y = 28 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
