Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the two unknown numbers to X and Y.

X + Y = 22

2X = 10Y

Rewrite the second equation as:  X = 5Y

Now use this in the first equation:   6Y=22

Y = 3.67  [3 2/3]

X = 18.33 [18 1/3]

---------------------------------------

3 2/3 + 18 1/3 = 22, and

2*(18 1/3) = 10*(3 2/3)
