Find two consecutive integers such that 3 times the larger exceeds twice the smaller by 34
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let n = the 1st integer
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(n+1) = the next consecutive integer
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for what it says:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"3 times the larger exceeds twice the smaller by 34\"
\n" ); document.write( "3(n+1) = 2n + 34
\n" ); document.write( "3n + 3 = 2n + 34
\n" ); document.write( "3n - 2n = 34 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "n = 31, 32; are the two integers, (pretty easy, right?) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
