Question 1154010

The larger of two numbers is 1 more than 3 times the smaller. If the smaller is subtracted from the larger, the result is 13. Find the two numbers.
<pre>The other person is WRONG!!
Let the smaller be S
Then larger is: 3S + 1
We then get: 3S + 1 - S = 13
2S = 12
S, or smaller = {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, 12/2, "=", 6))}}}
Larger: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, 3(6) + 1, "=", 19))}}}
