Use these equations:
$$i_{1}$$
means the first integer
$$i_{2}$$
means the second integer
$$i_{1} = 4i _{2} - 3$$
$$i_{1} + i_{2} = 42$$

x = 1st integer
y = 2nd integer

x = 4y - 3
x + y = 42

4y - 3 + y = 42
5y - 3 = 42
5y = 42 + 3
5y = 45
y = 9

x = 4y - 3
x = 4(9) - 3
x = 36 - 3
x = 33

check..
x = 4y - 3
33 = 4(9) - 3
33 = 36 - 33
33 = 33 (correct)

integers are 9 and 33
