I apologize for the previous response. Let me provide a step-by-step solution to the problem:
Let's say the two numbers are x and y, where x is the unknown number and y is the other number.
From the first sentence, we know that:
x + y = 22 (Equation 1)
From the second sentence, we know that:
3x + 5 = 35
Simplifying this equation, we get:
3x = 30
x = 10
Substituting x = 10 in Equation 1, we get:
10 + y = 22
y = 12
Therefore, the two numbers are 10 and 12.
