x-y=87; that makes x greater than y, so let x=the larger number and y the smaller number.
\n" ); document.write( "x=3y+13
\n" ); document.write( "substitute
\n" ); document.write( "3y+13-y=87
\n" ); document.write( "2y=74
\n" ); document.write( "y=37
\n" ); document.write( "x=124
\n" ); document.write( "sum is 161
\n" ); document.write( "product is 4588.
