Let x & y be the two integers, (x is the smaller)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "write an equation for each statement:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"The sum of two integers is thirty-eight.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 38
\n" ); document.write( "y = (38-x), use this for substitution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Nine times the smaller integer is 23 more than 2 times the larger integer.\"
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 2y + 23
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the integers
\n" ); document.write( "replace y in the above equation with (38-x)
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 2(38-x) + 23
\n" ); document.write( "9x = 76 - 2x + 23
\n" ); document.write( "9x + 2x = 76 + 23
\n" ); document.write( "11x = 99
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"99%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find y, check solutions in the 2nd equation \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
