Call the integers x and y. Then we have
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 64 and
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2y - 20
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the second into the first equation and get
\n" ); document.write( "2y - 20 + y = 64
\n" ); document.write( "3y - 20 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 84
\n" ); document.write( "y = 28
\n" ); document.write( "x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller is 28.
\n" ); document.write( "
