Let the two integers be $\"X\"$ and $\"Y\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "1. $\"Y-X=34\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"Y=3%2AX\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subsitute eq. 2 into eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Y-X=34\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2AX-X=34\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2X=34\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"X=17\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Y=3%2A17\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Y=51\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
