the sum of 2 integers is 41.when 3 times the smaller is subtracted from the larger the result is 17. find 2 integers

Answer 1

just put the words into math:
x+y = 41
y - 3x = 17
Since y=3x+17,
x + 3x+17 = 41
x = 6
so, y = 35

Answer 2

When an integer is subtracted from 6 times the next consecutive integer, the difference is 41. Find the value of the greater integer.

Answer 3

When an integer is subtracted from 3 times the next consecutive integer, the difference is 23. Find the value of the lesser integer.
