*The difference of two integers is 20. The larger is 4 less than 3 times the smaller. Find the two integers.*
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = larger of the two integers
\n" ); document.write( "and y = smaller of the two integers
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=20 (equation 1)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3y-4 (equation 2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of x from equation 2 into equation 1 and solve for y:
\n" ); document.write( "x-y=20
\n" ); document.write( "3y-4-y=20
\n" ); document.write( "2y-4=20
\n" ); document.write( "2y=24
\n" ); document.write( "y = 12
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of y above into equation 2 and solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3y-4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3(12)-4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36-4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Our two integers are 12 and 32 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
