One number is 3 times another. Their sum is 44.

One number is 3 times another. Their sum is 44.

Let the first number be x, and the second number be y. We're given:

1. x = 3y
2. x + y = 44

Substitute (1) into (2):
3y + y = 44

Type this equation into the search engine, and we get:
y = 11

Plug this into equation (1):
x = 3(11)
x = 33
