A number word problem?

Like cryptography?

like for example:

Twice the larger of two numbers is three more than five times the smaller, and the sum of four times the larger and three times the smaller is 71. What are the numbers?

laughoutloud What do you mean you're not allowed? What does that even mean? Who isn't allowing you to look up those combination of words?

Three times the larger of the numbers is 2 more than the smaller number squared, but one less than the smaller number is the difference between the larger and the smaller number. Using these facts, what is the combination of these numbers
