Let's assume the smaller number is x and the larger number is y.
The problem states that the larger number is seven less than three times the smaller number, so we have the equation:
y = 3x - 7
The problem also states that the sum of the numbers is 61:
x + y = 61
So the equation is y = 3x - 7 and x + y = 61.
