The numbers are 21 and 63.
Let the number be x and if you mean 2x+3 = x+5 then the value of x is 2
Three Times A Number x Minus Two translates to 3x-2 Three Times A Number x Minus Two translates to 3•x-2 Three Times A Number y Minus Two translates to 3y-2 Three Times A Number z Minus Two translates to 3z-2

i am a two digit # my tens digit# is 3 times my ones digit #and the sum of my digit is 12 what am i
x = 8, y = 5
The larger number is 12.

The mean times three will be the total of all three numbers. Multiply the mean times three and subtract the sum of the two numbers from that total.
The two numbers that solve this problem are 5 and 15. The sum of 5 and 15 is equal to 20, and 15 is indeed 3 times 5.
This means that the sum of the number and two is zero. So the number is -2.
