    Answer: 29

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the smaller number be x

    Let the bigger number be x+2

    The information given in the question can be represented in a equation as:

    x + 2 + 2x = 4x – 27

    3x + 2 = 4x – 27

    4x – 3x = 27 + 2

    x = 29

    The smaller number is 29
