The difference of two numbers is 15. The larger number is one more than three times the smaller number. Find the two numbers

The two numbers are 7 and 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we first need to set the smaller number as x. Given this, we can find the second number as 3x + 1. Using these two together, we can subtract the smaller from the larger and set equal to 15.

3x + 1 - x = 15

2x + 1 = 15

2x = 14

x = 7

Now that we have the smaller number, we can plug in to find the larger.

3x + 1

3 (7) + 1

21 + 1

22
