let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
hmm say "a" is the smaller, and "b" the greater

so "b" is "4 more than 5 times" "a"

so... 5 times "a" is 5*a or 5a
4 more than "that", will be "that" + 4
or
5a + 4

so.. whatever "a" is, "b" is 5a+4

now, their sum is 22, as opposed to "zz" hehe

so       \(\bf \begin{cases} a+b=22\\ --------------\\ \boxed{b}=5a+4\qquad thus\\ --------------\\ a+\boxed{5a+4}=22 \end{cases}\)

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is

what's "b"?  well, b = 5a + 4
