Question

one integer is 30 more than another integer if the difference between the larger and twice the smaller is 8 find the integers

Answer 1

x = larger int
y = smaller int
---
x - y = 30
x - 2y = 8
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = 30
x - 2y = 8

---
solution:
x = larger int = 52
y = smaller int = 22
