If y is 16 the x is 2y+3=2•26+3 = 51

i think this is the answer i forgot this but this is so easy.

Leach · Answer 2

Two integers are x and y

sum of two integers (x+y) = 26

x = 2 + 3y

plug that into equation above:

x + y = 26

(2+3y) + y = 26

4y + 2-2 = 26-2

4y = 24

4y/4 = 24/4

y = 6

x = 2 + 3y = 2 + 18 = 20
