Hello guys/gals,

First post here, might as well be a simple question:

The sum of two integers is 20. The difference between three times the smaller integer and four is one more than twice the larger integer. What are the two integers?

Thank you very much in advance. This site has been alot of help for a rookie like me!

a+b=20 i.e. 3a+3b=60
3a-4=1+2b i.e. 3a-2b=5


5b=55
b=11
a=9

9 and 11 are the two integers!!
