Let n be the smaller number. Then, assuming you meant nine more than 4x the number, the larger number is 4n+9. So:
\n" ); document.write( "n+4n+9=64
\n" ); document.write( "5n=55
\n" ); document.write( "n=11
\n" ); document.write( "4n+9=53
\n" ); document.write( "☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
