Question 127773
smallest number  = {{{a}}}
larger number = {{{b}}}
{{{a + b = 85}}}
{{{b = 85 - a}}}
{{{2a = b + 32}}}
{{{2a = 85 - a + 32}}}
add {{{a}}} to both sides
{{{3a = 117}}}
{{{a = 39}}}
{{{b = 85 - 39}}}
{{{b = 46}}}
The numbers are 39 and 46
check:
{{{2a = b + 32}}}
{{{2*39 = 46 + 32}}}
{{{78 = 78}}}
OK
