The two numbers are 27 and 9.

It is given that, one number is 3 times as large as the other. Let the two numbers are [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]3x[/tex].

The sum of two numbers is 36. So,

[tex]x+3x=36[/tex]

[tex]4x=36[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{36}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=9[/tex]

The one number is 9 and the other number is:

[tex]3x=3(9)[/tex]

[tex]3x=27[/tex]

Therefore, the required numbers are 27 and 9.
