Hi,

Let x and y represent the smaller and larger number respectively

Three times a larger number added to 4 times a smaller number totals 24. 

When twice the smaller number is subtracted from twice the larger number, the result is 2. 

 3y + 4x = 24

 2y - 2x = 2    |Multiply 2EQ by 2 and add to the 1st EQ

     7y = 28

      y = 4   and x = 3
