let the first number be x
let the second number be y

so according to the first condition

X = 3y - 4 -------- (1)

according to the second condition

X + y + 5 = 25

from (1)

3y - 4 + y + 5 = 25

4y + 1 = 25

4y = 25 - 1

4y = 24

y = 24/4

y = 6

putting value of y in eq. (1)

x = 3 (6) - 4

x = 18 - 4

X = 14

answer

so the first number = 14 = x

the second number = 6 = y
