The difference of two integers is 9. Five times the smaller is 7 more than three times the larger. Find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the numbers be x and y:
\n" ); document.write( "x-y = 9
\n" ); document.write( "5y=3x+7
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve 1st for x = get y+9
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into 2nd to get:
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 3(y+9)+7
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 3y+34
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 34
\n" ); document.write( "y = 17
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "x-17 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "x = 26
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
