\n" ); document.write( "There are two consecutive numbers, where the sum of the lesser number and three times the greater number is 103. What is the greater number?
\n" ); document.write( "
Let the larger number be L
\n" );
document.write( "Then smaller = L - 1
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: L - 1 + 3L = 103
\n" );
document.write( "4L = 103 + 1
\n" );
document.write( "4L = 104
\n" );
document.write( "L, or larger number = \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+104%2F4%2C+%22=%22%2C+26%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "That's all.....nothing COMPLEX nor CONFUSING! \n" );
