Let's call the two numbers x and y. We know that:

x + y = 22 (the sum of two numbers is 22)
3x + 5 = 35 (three times one number increased by five is 35, so 3x + 5 = 35)

We can start by solving the second equation for x:

3x + 5 = 35
3x = 30
x = 10

Now we can substitute x = 10 into the first equation, and solve for y:

10 + y = 22
y = 12

So the two numbers are 10 and 12.
