Step-by-step explanation:

Let two numbers = x and y

  • Sum of two numbers is 26

❥ x + y = 26 → ①

  • Difference of two numbers is 2

❥ x - y = 2 → ②

From eqn ① and ②

  • x + y = 26
  • x - y = 2

Cancel +y and -y

  • 2x = 28
  • x = \frac{ 28 }{ 2 }
  • \sf\fbox\pink{ x \: = \: 14 }

Now substitute "x" value in eqn

  • x - y = 2
  • 14 - y = 2
  • - y = 2 - 14
  • - y = - 12

Cancel " - " on both sides

  • \sf\fbox\pink{ y \: = \: 12 }

❥ x = 14

❥ y = 12
