.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mentally in your mind,  make your greater number  20  units less.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You will have two equal numbers with the sum of  92 - 20 = 72.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, the smaller of the two original numbers is  72/2 = 36.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then the greater of the two original numbers is  36 + 20 = 56.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER.   The numbers are  36  and  56.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To complete the solution in full,  check  mentally that the difference of the found numbers is  20  and the sum is  92.\r
