There are two numbers with the following properties : 1) the second number is 3 times more than the first number. 2) the product of the two numbers is 9 more than their sum . What are two possible values of these two numbers?

1st number = highlight_green%28-+1%29 or highlight_green%289%2F4%29

2nd number = highlight_green%28-+4%29 or highlight_green%289%29

If 1st number = - 1, then the 2nd number = - 4
If 1st number = 9/4, then the 2nd number = 9

You can do the check!!
