Let the first and second number be x and y respectively

The first step is to interprete the problem using mathematical symbols

From the first statement, we have:

$\text{ x + y= 36}$

From the second statement, we have:

$2x\text{ - y = 6}$

So, we have the system of linear equations:

$\begin{gathered} x\text{ + y = 36} \\ 2x\text{ - y =6} \end{gathered}$

The next step is to solve the system of equations simultaneously

Adding equation 1 to 2:
