Answer:  4, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Set smaller number as x, and y be the larger number.

Through the questions, we can get the equation:

                                 y = 5x + 4

(5x + 4) + 6 = 3(x + 6)         [5x+4 is the first resulting number according to the                      question.]

5x + 10 = 3x + 18                [Minus 2 from both side]

2x + 10 = 18                        [Minus 10 from both side]

2x = 8                                 [Divide 2 from both side]

x = 4

Plug in x = 4 to the equation, y = 5x + 4

y = 5x + 4

  = 5(4) + 4

  = 24
