x+y=150 or x=150-y
\n" ); document.write( "4x=5y+60
\n" ); document.write( "4(150-y)=5y+60
\n" ); document.write( "600-4y=5y+60
\n" ); document.write( "-9y=60-600
\n" ); document.write( "-9y=-540
\n" ); document.write( "y=-540/-9
\n" ); document.write( "y=60 answer for the smaller number.
\n" ); document.write( "x=150-60
\n" ); document.write( "x=90 answer for the larger number.
\n" ); document.write( "proof.
