\n" ); document.write( "let two numbers be \"x\" and \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if their a relationship of \"3%3A5\", we have
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%3Ay=3%3A5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x=3y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=3y%2F5\".........eq1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " and if the difference between them are \"40\", we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x-y=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=y%2B40\"...eq2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from eq1 and eq2 we have: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y%2F5=y%2B40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=5y%2B200\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5y-3y%2B200=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y%2B200=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y%2B100=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-100\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "find \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=y%2B40\"...eq2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-100%2B40\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-60\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check their difference and relationship :
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-y=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-60-%28-100%29=40\"
