the sum of two numbers is 22 and three times one number is increased by five is 35

what are the two equations you would use

1 answer

Let's call the two numbers x and y.

From the first statement, "the sum of two numbers is 22," we can write the equation:
x + y = 22

From the second statement, "three times one number is increased by five is 35," we can write the equation:
3x + 5 = 35
