One number is 3 more than 3 times another. The sum of the numbers is 11. Find the two numbers.

Question

The two numbers are __ & __.

Answer 1

Let 'another' number be x, and then represent the first ("one number") be 3x + 3.

Now write an equation adding these two values:  x + (3x+3) = 11.

It's easy to solve this equation, right?
