Answer:

13 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers by a and b.

Then a - b = the difference between a and b = 26, and

a = 3b.

Now a - b = 26 and a = 3b.  Subbing 3b for a in a - b = 26, we get

3b - b = 26, or 2b = 26.  Thus, b = 13.  Therefore, a = 3(13) = 39.

The smaller number is 13 and the larger is 39.
