Answer:

  26 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number. Since the sum of the numbers is 35, the second number is 35-x. The relation between the two numbers is ...

  x - 2(35-x) = 8

  3x -70 = 8 . . . . . . simplify

  3x = 78 . . . . . . . add 70

  x = 26 . . . . . . divide by 3 . . . this is the first number

  35-x = 9 . . . . the second number

The first number is 26; the second number is 9.
