Answer:

  (x, y) = (8, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant equations are ...

  3x -y = 22

  x +2y = 12

__

We can eliminate y by adding twice the first equation to the second.

  2(3x -y) +(x +2y) = 2(22) +(12)

  7x = 56

  x = 8

Substituting into the first equation gives ...

  3(8) -y = 22

  y = 24 -22 = 2

The first number is 8; the second number is 2.
