"Three more than the product of 8 and 7" is just a cheap, seemingly tricky way of saying "59." So all this problem asks is "The difference of 67 and an integer is 59."

If we let x be the integer, either equation could be true, depending on how the question is interpreted:

x - 67 = 59 --> x = 126
67 - x = 59 --> x = 8
