Answer:
35 and 10
Explanation:
Let m and n be the numbers
m is 5 more than 3 times n can be written as
m = 3n + 5 ... (1)
Sum of numbers is 45 so m + n = 45 .or
m = 45 - n ... (2)
Equating RHS of (1) and (2) gives us
3n + 5 = 45 - n
Collecting like terms
3n + n = 45 -5
4n = 40
n = 10
Therefore m = 45-10 = 35
Quick Check
In (1) substitute for m and n,
LHS is m = 35
RHS = 3 * 10 + 5 = 35
