You can put this solution on YOUR website! three timesa number added to a second number is 33. the first number added to three times the second number is 19. find the two numbers.
Let x and y those numbers:
3x+y = 33
x+3y = 19
Then (multiply by 3 2nd eq)
3x+y = 33
3x+9y = 57
Then (substracting them)
-8y = -24
y = 3
x = 10
