Question

The larger of two integers is 1 greater than twice the smaller integer the smaller integer is 17 less than twice the larger integer what are the two integers

Answer 1

Larger = 2smaller + 1 ----(1)
smaller = 2 larger - 17 ----(2)

put (2) in (1)
larger = 2(2larger-17) + 1
larger = 4larger-34+1
-3larger = - 33
so larger= 11
then smaller= 2(11)-17 = 5

answer two integers are 11 and 5
