Answer:
Let's call the smaller number x and the larger number y.
We know that y - x = 19, so we can write:
y = x + 19
We also know that 2x = y + 9, so we can write:
2x = x + 19 + 9
Simplifying, we get:
2x = x + 28
Subtracting x from both sides, we get:
x = 28
So, the smaller number is 28 and the larger number is 28 + 19 = 47.
Therefore, the two numbers are 28 and 47.
