Question 306430: The largest of 2 integers is one more than three times the smaller. If the sum of the two integers is 37, find the larger integer. Answer by sejackson91(8) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! so first call the larger integer A and the smaller integer B,
then rewrite the problem in formula form:
A = 1+3*B
A + B = 37
now solve:
A = 37-B
37-B=1+3*B
36 = 4*B
8 = B
A = 1 + 3*B
A = 1 + 3*8
A = 25
