\n" ); document.write( "
Let the multiplicative factor be x
\n" );
document.write( "Then the numbers are: 2x and 5x
\n" );
document.write( "Since their difference is 48, then we get: 5x - 2x = 48
\n" );
document.write( "3x = 48
\n" );
document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C5%2C+x%2C+%22=%22%2C+48%2F3%2C+%22=%22%2C+16%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Larger number: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+5%2816%29%2C+%22=%22%2C+80%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "That's ALL!! \n" );
