    X is 4 more than 5 times y

    x=4+5y

    if sum is increased by 3 (x+y+3), result is 31

    x+y+3=31

    minus 3 both sides

    x+y=28

    x=4+5y subsiutute

    4+5y+y=28

    4+6y=28

    minus 4 both sides

    6y=24

    divide by 6

    y=4

    sub back

    x=4+5y

    x=4+5 (4)

    x=4+20

    x=24

    the numbers are 24 and 4
