Answer:
8 and 14
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y
We can model the situation using the following 2 equations
x + y = 22 → (1)
3x - y = 34 → (2)
adding the equations term by term will eliminate the term in y
(x + 3x) + (y - y) = (22 + 34)
4x = 56 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 14
substitute x = 14 into (1)
14 + y = 22 ⇒ y = 22 - 14 = 8
