    Let x and y be the two integers.

    x + y = 96

    x = 2y - 27

    Use Substitution:

    (2y - 27) + y = 96

    3y - 27 = 96

    3y = 123

    y = 41

    plug in

    x = 2 (41) - 27

    x = 55

    Let's write one integer as X and the other one as Y

    Now we have:

    X+Y=96

    X=2Y-27

    2Y-27+Y=96 X=2Y-27

    3Y=123 X=2x41-27=82-27

    Y=41 X=55
