document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(x-y)*(x+y) = 72.\r\n" );

document.write( "But x-y = 4, according to the condition. Hence,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "4*(x+y) = 72  --->\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x + y =  = 18.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, you have two equations:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x + y = 18,\r\n" );
