the sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 62. three times the bigger number exceeds the smaller number by 116.
the bigger number is
. the smaller number is
.

Lets 2 numbers are x and y

The sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 62:  x + 2y = 62Three times the bigger number exceeds the smaller number by 116: 3x - y = 116

so
x + 2y = 62 so x = 62 - 2y
3x - y = 116

substitute x = 62 - 2y into 3x - y = 116

3x - y = 116
3(62 - 2y) - y = 116
186 - 6y - y = 116
-7y = - 70
  y = 10

x = 62 - 2y = 62 - 2(10) = 42

answer
The bigger number is 42
The smaller number is 10
