The difference between 2 positive integers is 36. One integer is three times as great as the other. Find the integers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Let n be one positive integer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let 3n be the other integer since the other is three times as great as the other.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Then, 3n-n=36 since the difference of the integers is 36.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Solving yields the following steps\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2n=36\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 2 to both sides of the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2n%2F2=36%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n=18\" and \"3n=54\". Note their difference is 36.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. ANSWER: The positive integers are 18 and 54.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps were helpful.\r
