Answers:

  • Larger = 58
  • Smaller = 34

=========================================================

Explanation:

  • x = larger number
  • y = smaller number

The smaller number y is 24 less than the larger number x

This means y = x-24

--------

The two numbers x and y add to 92

x+y = 92

x+x-24 = 92 ... y replaced with x-24

2x-24 = 92

2x = 92+24

2x = 116

x = 116/2

x = 58 is the larger number

y = x-24 = 58-24 = 34 is the smaller number

Check: x+y = 58+34 = 92, so the answer is confirmed.
