Since you don't know either of the numbers we can call the first number x. The second number is the first number plus 6 or x+6. The sum is 22 more than the larger number so x+6+22 or x+28. Using this we can create the equation x+x+6=x+28. In order to isolate x we would subract x from both sides ending up with x+6=28. Then subract 6 from both sides to get x=22. This means the first number equals 22. Then to solve for the second number you plug 22 in for x to get the equation 22+6= the second number, so the second number is equal to 28. Look below for just the equation.
