The smaller number is 15 and larger number is 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
According to given statement;
The sum of two numbers is 51.
x+y = 51 Eqn 1
Four times the smaller number is 24 more than the larger number.
4x = y+24
4x - 24 = y
y = 4x-24 Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
Dividing both sides by 5
Putting x=15 in Eqn 2
The smaller number is 15 and larger number is 36.
