Answer:
x + y = 6
3x + 2y = 32
Multiply the ist equation by 3: 3x + 3y = 18 Subtract one equation from the other: y = - 14, then x = 6 - y = 20 Now take the values of x and y and make sure they solve the problem.
if not then its this
Let the larger be h and the smaller be x;
h-3x=4
2h+4x=58
This is a pair of simultaneous equations;
Eliminating h by multiplying equation 1 by two;
2h-6x=8
2h+4x=58
Subtracting equation 1 from equation II;
-2x=50
x=-25
The smaller number is -25
