Question 36049
The difference between two numbers is 4. 
LET SMALLER NUMBER=X
BIGGER NUMBER=X+4
Twice the larger number
THAT IS 2(X+4)=2X+8 
 is 11 more than 3 times the smaller number.
THAT IS 
3X+11
 Find the numbers
HENCE 2X+8=3X+11
3X-2X=8-11=-3
X=-3
SO THE 2 NUMBERS ARE -3 AND -3+4=1..THAT IS -3 AND 1
