one number --- x
the other ----- 2x+3
their sum = 3x+3
65 < 3x+3 < 75
subtract 3
62 < 3x < 72
divide by 3
62/3 < x < 24
but x is to be an integer, so the next integer after 62/3 is 21
21 ≤ x < 24
so the only numbers possible are
21, 22, and 23
as pairs that would be
(21,45)
(22,47)
(23,49
One positive integer is three moee than twice another and their sum is greater than 65 but less than 75. What pairs of integers satisfy this conditions?
