    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
