\n" ); document.write( "Are you still there? I have one more problem involving integers. This particular problem: The sume of the two integers and then the second is 8 more than 3 times the first.
\n" ); document.write( "So, I think that I should also set up this problem similar.
\n" ); document.write( "I worked it out and I know my answer was wrong.
\n" ); document.write( "Here is what I did.
\n" ); document.write( "The sume of two numbers is 76. The second is 8 more than 3 times the first.
\n" ); document.write( "What are the two numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "I put
\n" ); document.write( "x+y = 76
\n" ); document.write( "y= 3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "Is that correct? I am not certain how to deal with this problem correctly.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=3x+8 substitute (3x+8) for y in the other equation.
\n" ); document.write( "x+(3x+8)=76
\n" ); document.write( "x+3x+8=76
\n" ); document.write( "4x=76-8
\n" ); document.write( "4x=68
\n" ); document.write( "x=68/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=17 answer.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3*17+8
\n" ); document.write( "y=51+8
\n" ); document.write( "y=59 answer.
\n" ); document.write( "proof
\n" ); document.write( "17+59=76
\n" ); document.write( "76=76 \n" ); document.write( "
