Answer:

they are 2 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equation for two numbers a and b:

[tex]3a-b=-3[/tex] and [tex]a+b=11[/tex]

solve the system of equations:

add two equations together we get:

[tex]3a-b+a+b=-3+11[/tex]

[tex]4a=8[/tex]

[tex]a=2[/tex]

Since, a+b=11

thus  [tex]b = 9[/tex]
