24 and 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x be equal to the larger integer.
Let y be equal to the smaller integer.
<u>1) Construct equations</u>
(The sum of two integers is 33)
(The larger is 6 more than twice the smaller)
<u>2) Solve for one of the integer</u>
Isolate x in the first equation
Plug the first equation into the second
Combine like terms
Therefore, the smaller integer is 9.

<u>3) Solve for the other integer</u>
Plug in y (9)
Therefore, the larger integer is 24.
