Question 1098684
sum of two integers is 3x their difference.
-
...sum of two integers is THREE TIMES their difference.
-------------------------------------------------------------


{{{x+y=3(y-x)}}}



---------------------------------------------------------
Thrice the smaller integer exceeds the larger integer by 4.
---------------------------------------------------------


{{{3x-y=4}}}




Simplify and solve this system:
{{{system(x+y=3y-3x,3x-y=4)}}}


-

{{{system(4x=2y,y=3x-4)}}}

{{{4x=2(3x-4)}}}

{{{4x=6x-8}}}

{{{2x=8}}}

{{{highlight(x=4)}}}-------smaller integer
{{{highlight(y=8)}}}-------larger integer
