Question 611205: Translate the problem situation to a system of equations. Do not solve. The difference between two numbers is 1. Three times the smaller number plus the larger number is 29. What are the numbers?

Let x = larger number
Let y = smaller number
x - y = 1
3y + x = 29
To solve:
x - y = 1
x = y + 1
Substitute:
3y + x = 29
3y + y + 1 = 29
4y + 1 = 29
4y = 28
y = 7
x = 8
