\"The sum of two integers is 10.\" From this statement we can write:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 integer, make it the larger integer
\n" ); document.write( "(10-x) = another integer
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "\"Three times the larger integer is three less than 8 times the smaller integer.\"
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 8(10-x) - 3
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 80 - 8x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 8x = 77
\n" ); document.write( "11x = 77
\n" ); document.write( "x = 77/11
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Find the integers.
\n" ); document.write( "The integers are 7 & 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( " 3(7) = 8(10-7) - 3
\n" ); document.write( "21 = 8(3) - 3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
