Answer:
D; x -y = 22
3x + 2y = 246
Explanation:
Let us have the bigger number as x and the smaller as y
The difference between the two is 22
Thus, we have it that;
x - y = 22
twice the smaller number; 2(y) added to thrice the larger 3(x) equals 246
3x + 2y = 246
So we have the two equations as;
x -y = 22
3x + 2y = 246
