Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be
x
. The larger number exceeds the smaller number by
8
. This means that the larger number is greater than the smaller number by
8
and is equal to
(
x
+
8
)
.
The sum of the two numbers is
36
. So,
x
+
(
x
+
8
)
=
36
2
x
=
36
−
8
x
=
28

=
14
Thus, the smaller number is equal to
14
and the larger number is
14
+
8
=
22
.
