One number is x.
The other number is 2 more than 3 times the first number, so it's 3x+2.
The sum of the numbers is 22.

\(x+3x+2=22 \\ 4x=22-2 \\ 4x=20 \\ x=\frac{20}{4} \\ x=5 \\ \\ 3x+2=3 \times 5+2=15+2=17\)

The numbers are 5 and 17.

The correct numbers would be 5 and 17 as 17 is two more than 3 times of 5 and their sum is 22.

Let us assume x is the first number then,

Given:

First number = x

second number = 3x+2

The sum of both numbers: 22

Solution:

first no. -- x

2nd no. -- 3x+2


3x+2 + x = 22

4x = 20

x = 5 and


the second number is - 3×(5)+2

So the first number is 5, the other 17
