The two numbers would be = 61 and 39.
How to determine both the large and small number?
To calculate the large and small of the given expression, the following steps should be taken as follows:
The difference between the two numbers= 21
x-y = 22 ---> equation 1
2y = X+17 ---> equation 2
substitute X = 22+y into equation 2
2y = 22+y+17
2y-y=39
y = 39
substitute y = 39 into equation 1
x-39 = 22
X= 22+39
= 61
