Smaller number = x
larger number = y

\left \{ {{y+x=61} \atop y=2x+4}} \right.

solve the system of equations by substitution:

(2x+4) + x = 61
3x+4 = 61
3x=57
x=19

Plug x into the top equation and solve for y:

y + (19) = 61
y = 42

A + b = 61       a > b        a = 2b + 4

2b + 4 + b = 61
3b + 4 = 61
3b = 57
b = 19
