Answer:

35 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m and n be the numbers

m  is 5 more than 3 times n can be written as

m = 3n + 5    ... (1)

Sum of numbers is 45 so m + n = 45 .or

m = 45 - n ... (2)

Equating RHS of (1) and (2) gives us

3n + 5 = 45 - n

Collecting like terms

3n + n = 45 -5

4n = 40

n = 10

Therefore m = 45-10 = 35

Quick Check

In (1) substitute for m and n,

LHS is m = 35

RHS = 3 * 10 + 5 = 35
