Answer:

The numbers are [tex]10[/tex]  and  [tex]4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> one number

y----> the other number

we know that

[tex]x+y=14[/tex] ------> equation A

[tex]x=3y-2[/tex] -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

[tex]3y-2+y=14[/tex]

[tex]4y=14+2[/tex]

[tex]y=16/4=4[/tex]

Find the value of x

[tex]x=3(4)-2=10[/tex]
