    larger no = 4, samller no=-2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let, samller no=x, larger no=y

    ac/ques, y=2x+8 ... (1)

    x+y=3y-10 ... (2)

    y=2x+8 put in equ (2)

    x+2x+8=3 (2x+8) - 10

    3x+8=6x+24-10

    3x=-6

    x=-2

    x=-2 put in equ (1)

    y=-4+8=4

    larger no = y=4, samller no=x=-2
