Let $\"+n+\"$ = the smaller integer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+1+\"$ = the larger integer
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+%2B+4%2A%28+n+%2B+1+%29+=+130+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+%2B+4n+%2B+4+=+130+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7n+=+126+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+1+=+19+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller integer is 18
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
