Equation 1: x + y = 22 (where x and y represent the two numbers)
Equation 2: 3x + 5 = 35
To solve the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination.
From Equation 1, we know that y = 22 - x.
Substituting this value into Equation 2, we get:
3x + 5 = 35
3x = 35 - 5
3x = 30
x = 30/3
x = 10
Substituting the value of x back into Equation 1, we get:
10 + y = 22
y = 22 - 10
y = 12
So the two numbers are 10 and 12.
The sum of two numbers is 22. Three times one number increased by five is 35.
