Suppose the numbers are x and y and that x < y

Then y = 2x + 8

and x + y = 3y - 10

The second implies that x = 2y - 10

which, by the first gives x = 2(2x + 8) - 10 = 4x + 16 - 10

So -3x = 6 so that x = -2

and then y = 2*(-2)+8 = 4

So the two numbers are -2 and 4.

The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40. From this statement, we can calculate the values of the numbers where you get the value of the larger number to be 24 and that of the smaller number to be 4.

How do you calculate how many times bigger something is?

To calculate how many times bigger one quantity is compared to another, divide the larger quantity by the smaller one. For example, if you have two numbers, A and B, where A is the larger number, you would calculate A ÷ B. The result tells you how many times larger A is compared to B. If the result is 3, then A is three times bigger than B.

First of all you need serious help with your grammar, more than your math. I will try to make sense of what you wrote. 24 and 4 are the numbers you are looking for.
