y=3x+1
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=37
\n" ); document.write( "x+(3x+1)=37
\n" ); document.write( "x+3x+1=37
\n" ); document.write( "4x=37-1
\n" ); document.write( "4x=36
\n" ); document.write( "x=36/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=9 which is the smaller integer.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3*9+1
\n" ); document.write( "y=27+1
\n" ); document.write( "y=28
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "28+9=37
\n" ); document.write( "37=37 \n" ); document.write( "
