The sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 98. The bigger number is 22 less than three times the smaller number.

The two numbers are 60 and 19 54 and 22 50 and 24 58 and 20.

The answer is that one of the numbers is 24 and the other is 50. Let's call the smaller number x, since the larger number is based on info provided for the smaller. So smaller number is x. The larger number is 3x-22, since it is 22 less than (subtraction) 3times (multiplication) the number, x. So add 2x (two times a smaller number) and 3x-22 together and set them equal to 98: 3x - 22 + 2x = 98. Simplify to get 5x = 98, divide to get that x = 24. Now put that x into the other equation for the larger number: 3 (24) - 22=50
