Let L = the larger ineteger, S = the smaller. Then from the given,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L+=+3S%2B1\"$ , and $\"L+%2B+S+=+37\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting the first equation into the second, we get $\"3S%2B1+%2BS+=+37\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4S+=+36\"$ , $\"S+=+9\"$ , and $\"L+=+28\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
