    The smaller number is 22

    The larger number is 30

    Step-by-step explanation:

    L + S = 52

    L = S + 8

    Set both equations equal to L.

    S + 8 = - S + 52

    +S + S

    2S + 8 = 52

    - 8 - 8

    2S = 44

    S = 22

    To find the larger number, plug 22 in as S into the equations.

    L = 30
