Three times the smaller of two integers is the same as -146 minus four times the larger integer.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "1. Replace the words \"the smaller of two integers\" by \"S\". Then you have:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Three times S is the same as -146 minus four times the larger integer.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "2. Replace the words \"the larger integer\" by \"L\". Then you have:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Three times S is the same as -146 minus four times L.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "3. Replace the words \"Three times\" by \"3\". Then you have: \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "3S is the same as -146 minus four times L.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "4. Replace the words \"four times\" by \"4\". Then you have:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "3S is the same as -146 minus 4L.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "5. Replace the words \"is the same as\" by an equal sign \"=\". Then you have:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "3S = -146 minus 4L.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "6. Replace the word \"minus\" by \"-\". Then you have:\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "3S = -146 - 4L.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "That's the equation form!\r\n" );
