    The smaller number is 24 and the larger number is 50.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    b>a

    b=3a-22, b+2a=98, using b from the left in the right:

    3a-22+2a=98

    5a-22=98

    5a=120

    a=24, and since b=3a-22,

    b=50

    So the smaller number is 24 and the larger number is 50.
