let x = the smaller integer
\n" ); document.write( "3x = the larger integer
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-x=36\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=36\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=18\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "The smaller integer is $\"x=18\"$ , and the larger integer is $\"3x=3%2818%29=54\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
