    X + (2x + 7) = 121 : Write the expression.

    3x + 7 = 121 : Combine like terms.

    3x + 7 - 7 = 121 - 7 : Isolate x.

    3x = 114 : Combined like terms.

    3x / 3 = 114 / 3 : Find the value of x.

    x = 38 : This is the smaller integer.

    (2x + 7) = (2 (38) + 7) = 76 + 7 = 83. : Find the value of the larger number by plugging in the value of x to the larger number's quantity.

    The larger number is 83, and the smaller number is 38.
