let the smaller numbers BE Y
the larger numbers BE (57-Y)
the larger of the two numbers is 9 less than twice the smaller
(57-Y)+9=2Y
57-Y+9=2Y
66=3Y
Y=22

so the smaller numbers is 22
the larger numbers is 35

Let the larger number be x. Then, the smaller number will be 57-x.

x=2(57-x) - 9

x=114 - 2x - 9

3x=105

x=35

So, the larger number is 35 and the smaller number is 22.
