Let the smaller number be x

let the larger number be y

According to Question-

x + y = 2y - 4
→ x - y = -4 ...1

if larger number is decreased by 1/3 we get equation -

x + y/3 = -20
→ 3x + y = -60 ...2

adding equation 1 and 2, we get:

4x = -64

→ x = -16

→ y = -60 - 3(-16)

→ y = -60 + 48

→ y = -12
