Question 275440
The sum of two integers are 10.  Three times one integer is 3 less than 8 times the other integer. Find the numbers.


Let the integer be x

Three times = 3x

other integer = 8*(10-x)

The difference is = 3

8*(10-x)-3x= 3

80-8x-3x=3

-11x=-77

x= -77/-11

x=7

the other number is 24
