Answer:
x= 62
y= 54
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
let the numbers be x and y and the larger be x the smaller be y
The difference between two numbers is 8
x-y= 8-----------1
If the larger is subtracted from three times the smaller, the difference is 100
3y-x=100------------2
from eqn 1, x= 8+y
put this in eqn 2
3y-(8+y)=100
3y-8-y=100
collect liker terms
3y-y-8=100
2y=108
y= 54
put y= 54 in eqn 1
x-y=8
x-54= 8
x= 8+54
x=62
