The sum of two numbers is 31. One number is five less than three times the other.find the numbers

Answer 1

First no. = 9

Second no. = 22

Explanation:

First no. = h

Second no. = 3h - 5

h + (3h - 5) = 31

h + 3h - 5 = 31

4h - 5 = 31

4h = 31 + 5

4h = 36

h = 36/4

h = 9

First no. = h = 9

Second no. = 3h - 5 = 3×9 - 5 = 27 - 5 = 22
