Let the two numbers be x and y
1st equation will be
X+Y=25
2nd equation will be
X+9=Y
X-Y=-9
Taking 1 and 2 equation
X+Y=25
X-Y=-9
X=16
Substituting value of X in 1st equation
16+Y=25
Y =25-16
Y =9
Value of X is 16 and value of Y is 9
1st equation will be
X+Y=25
2nd equation will be
X+9=Y
X-Y=-9
Taking 1 and 2 equation
X+Y=25
X-Y=-9
X=16
Substituting value of X in 1st equation
16+Y=25
Y =25-16
Y =9
Value of X is 16 and value of Y is 9
