\n" ); document.write( "
The other person is WRONG!!
\n" );
document.write( "Let the smaller be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then larger is: 3S + 1
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 3S + 1 - S = 13
\n" );
document.write( "2S = 12
\n" );
document.write( "S, or smaller = \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+12%2F2%2C+%22=%22%2C+6%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Larger: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+3%286%29+%2B+1%2C+%22=%22%2C+19%29%29\" \n" );
document.write( "
