Select two variables, set up two equations and solve the problem below. The sum of two integers is 45. The larger is 3 less than three times the smaller. Find the two integers.
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let x=larger integer
\n" ); document.write( "let y=smaller integer
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=45 (sum of two integers is 45)
\n" ); document.write( "x=45-y
\n" ); document.write( "x=3y-3 (larger is 3 less than three times the smaller)
\n" ); document.write( "45-y=3y-3
\n" ); document.write( "4y=48
\n" ); document.write( "y=12
\n" ); document.write( "x=45-y=33
\n" ); document.write( "larger integer=33
\n" ); document.write( "smaller integer=12 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
