Answer: 5 is the smaller number and 21 is the larger number

Step-by-step explanation: let’s have the smaller of the numbers equal x and the larger one equal y. Y = 3x + 6 their sum is 3x + 6 + x or 4x + 6. This sum minus 4 is 22 so the sum is 26. 26-6 = 4x so 4x = 20 and x = 5 so r = 15+ 6 which is 21.
