Answer 2

Answer:

11 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The the smaller number be $x$. Since the other number is 3 times as large as the other, we can represent the large number as $3x$. Because they add up to 44, we have the following equation:

$x+3x=44$

Combine like terms:

$4x=44$

Divide both sides by 4:

$x=\frac{44}{4}=\boxed{11}$

Substitute $x=11$ into $3x$ to find the larger number:

$11\cdot 3=\boxed{33}$

Therefore, the two numbers are 11 and 33.
