three times a first number added to a second number is 33.if the first is added to three times the second,then the sum is 19.find the two numbers
--------------
f = 1st Number
s = 2nd Number
3f + s = 33
f + 3s = 19 --> 3f + 9s = 57
----------
3f + 9s = 57
3f + s = 33
------------- Subtract
0f + 8s = 24
s = 3
-----------
f = 10
