Answer:
3, 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute "one number", etc., with variables:
[tex]a+3b=24\\5a+3b=36[/tex]
This gives us a solvable system of equations. To solve this, solve for a in the first equation:
[tex]a+3b=24\\a=24-3b[/tex]
Substitute a into the second equation and simplify:
[tex]5a+3b=36\\5(24-3b)+3b=36\\120-15b+3b=36\\120-12b=36\\-12b=-84\\b=7[/tex]
Substitute the value of b into the first equation:
[tex]a+3(7)=24\\a+21=24\\a=3[/tex]
