Let the smaller integer be $\"n\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "The greater integer is $\"2%2An-3\"$ (two times the smaller integer minus 3).
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of those two integers is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2B%282n-3%29=36\"$ --> $\"3n-3=36\"$ --(add 3 to both sides)--> $\"3n=39\"$ --(divide by 3 both sides) --> $\"highlight%28n=13%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the smaller integer is 13, and the greater integer is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2A13-3=highlight%2823%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
