    we call : a, b - the numbers

    a - b = 22

    a = 3b + 2

    3b + 2 - b = 22

    2b + 2 = 22

    2b = 22 - 2

    2b = 20 a = 3b + 2

    b = 20 : 2 a = 3*10 + 2

    b = 10 a = 32

    a - b = 22

    a = 3b + 2

    (3b+2) - b=22

    3b-b=22-2

    2b=20

    b=10

    a=3·10+2

    a=32
