B2. The sum of two numbers is 42. If the larger number is divided by the smaller one, we get a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 2. What are these numbers? Write down the answer.
B2. The sought numbers are $a$ and $b$. Then $a+b=42$, and by the basic theorem of division, we also have $a=3b+2$. From the first equation, we express $a=42-b$ and consider this in the second: $42-b=3b+2$. From this, we get $b=10$. We then calculate $a=32$. The sought numbers are 32 and 10.
