let x be the number Tanner wrapped. Then 3x + 2 is the number Stephanie wrapped. Together they wrapped 30 so x + 3x +2 = 30. 4x = 28. x = 7. Tanner wrapped 7 and Stephanie wrapped 3*7+2 = 23.

This problem is confusing for me because there is no specific number that is mentioned for the second equation.
