The sum of two integers is ten. Three times the larger integer is three less than 8 times the small integer. Find the integers.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 8y-3
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 8(10-x)-3
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 80 - 8x -3
\n" ); document.write( "11x = 77
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7 (one of the integers)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "7 + y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3(the other integer)
