Answer 2

Answer:

The two numbers are 17 and 5.

Solution:

Let us consider the first number be x and the second one be y.

Here, from given,

x = 3y + 2

and,

x + y = 22

Substituting the value of x = 3y + 2 in the second equation,

x + y = 22

3y + 2 + y = 22

4y + 2 = 22

4y = 22-2

4y = 20

y = 5

Substituting y = 5 in equation (i), we get,

x = 3(5) + 2

x = 15 + 2

x = 17

Hence, the two numbers are 17 and 5 respectively.
