the sum of two integers is 10.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = (10-x)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Three times the larger integer is three less than eight times the smaller integer.
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 8y - 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the integers.
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (10-x) for y in the above equation and find x
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 8(10-x) - 3
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 80 - 8x - 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if you can do it now \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
