    smaller integer = 29

    larger integer = 45

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the smaller integer be x.

    Larger integer = 74 - x

    Since the larger integer is 13 less than twice of the smaller integer,

    74 - x = 2x - 13

    74 + 13 = 2x + x (bring x terms to 1 side)

    3x = 87 (simplify)

    x = 87 : 3

    x = 29

    Smaller integer = 29

    Larger integer

    = 74 - 29

    = 45
