~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notice that both terms "x" and "y" are not defined in your post.
It is a HUGE DEFICIENCY of your creation.
Let x be the larger number; then the smaller number is (22-x).
Write the equation for the sum of 137 as you read the post
6x + 7*(22-x) = 137.
Simplify and solve
6x + 152 - 7x = 137
-x = 137 - 152
-x = -17
x = 17.
ANSWER. The numbers are 17 and 22-17 = 5.
CHECK. 6*17 + 7*5 = 137.
Solved, checked and explained.
