Answer:

14 AND 22

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE LARGER NUMBER BE X AND SMALLER BE Y

X + Y = 36 …….1

2X – Y = 6…… 2

WE SOLVE SIMULTANOUSLY  

ADDING EQATION 2 AND 1

2X + X  + Y + (-Y) = 36 + 6

3X + Y – Y = 42

3X = 42

DIVIDING EACH TERM BY 3

3X/3 = 42/3

X = 14

THEN PUTTING X = 14 IN EQUATION  1

14 + Y = 36

Y = 36 – 14  

Y = 22
