(a) The equations we would use are:
1. x + y = 22 (where x and y are the two numbers)
2. 3x + 5 = 35
(b) The two numbers are 13 and 9.
The sum of two numbers is 22. Three times one number increased by five is 35.
(a) What are the equations you would use? ________ and ________
(b) What are the two numbers? ________ and ________

wrong again. Clearly, 13 and 9 do not satisfy the second equation.
3x+5 = 35
x = 10
so y = 12
3x+5 = 35
x = 10
so y = 12
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct.
The correct equations are:
1. x + y = 22
2. 3x + 5 = 35
Using the second equation: 3x + 5 = 35, we can solve for x:
3x = 30
x = 10
Substituting x = 10 back into the first equation: 10 + y = 22
y = 12
Therefore, the two numbers are 10 and 12.
The correct equations are:
1. x + y = 22
2. 3x + 5 = 35
Using the second equation: 3x + 5 = 35, we can solve for x:
3x = 30
x = 10
Substituting x = 10 back into the first equation: 10 + y = 22
y = 12
Therefore, the two numbers are 10 and 12.
