Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 15 \ and \ 5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x.
Let the second number be y.
x is 3 times y.
Difference of x and y is 10.
[tex]x=3y[/tex]
[tex]x-y=10[/tex]
Put x as 3y in the second equation.
[tex]3y-y=10[/tex]
Combine like terms.
[tex]2y=10[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]y=5[/tex]
Plug y as 5 in the first equation.
[tex]x=3(5)[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]x=15[/tex]
The two numbers are 15 and 5.
