Answer 1

Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the numbers are x and y. So, we know that....

x+y=186

y-x=22

Now we can use the substitution method to find the numbers. y-x=22 turns into y=22+x. And now we can substitute to the second equation into the first equation.  

x+22+x=186

2x=164

x=82

y=22+82

y=104

Our numbers are 82 and 104 and the larger integer is 104, so that's the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

I believe the answer is 104.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 186 - 104 = 82 and 104 - 22 = 82.
