a) The equations we would use are:
1) x + y = 22 (where x and y are the two numbers)
2) 3x + 5 = 35 (where x represents one of the numbers)
b) To solve the system of equations, we can start by rearranging equation 2 to solve for x:
3x = 35 - 5
3x = 30
x = 10
Now we can substitute the value of x into equation 1 to find y:
10 + y = 22
y = 22 - 10
y = 12
Therefore, the two numbers are 10 and 12.
The sum of two numbers is 22. Three times one number increased by five is 35.(4 points)
