Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.

Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.

(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y

Now, we can use substitution to solve.

(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17

Now, we plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.

x = 3*17
x = 51

Hope this helps!
