    Answer:

    The big number is 41 and the small number is 32.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    b + s = 73

    2b – s = 50        Add these equations together

    3b = 123            Divide both sides by 3

    b = 41

    Now plug this into the first equation to find s

    41 + s = 73

    -41       – 41

    s = 32
