Question

The largest of 2 integers is one more than three times the smaller. If the sum of the two integers is 37, find the larger integer.

Answer 1

Let the two integers be : x and y..

And you can also assume that x > y, so x is the largest integer..

So, according to your question:
Largest integer is one + 3*Smallest

ie, x = 1 + 3y

And also : Sum of two integers = 37
ie x + y = 37..

Solve these linear equations to find x and y..
