Question 1134782: The sum of two Integers is greater than 23. One integer is 5 less than 3 times the other. What are the least values of the Integers? Answer by mathsolverplus(88) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let integer DISABLED_event_one= x
Let integer two = y
x + y > 23
x = 3y - 5
Substitute the second inequality into the first,
3y - 5 + y > 23
4y > 28
y>7
Since y>7, the least possible integer for y is 8:
x= 3(8)-5= 19
Least value: x = 19 and y = 8
