 \:  \:  \:  \sf{let \: first \: number \: be =  \: x + 2}

 \:  \:  \:  \sf{second \:  number \: be  = x + 4}

 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf{according \: to \: question}

 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf{x + 2 + x + 4 = 56}

 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf{2x + 6 = 56}

 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf{{\cancel{2}x = { \cancel{50}}}}

 \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \boxed{ \sf{x = 25}}

 \:  \:  \:  \sf{x + 2 =  > 25 + 2 =  > 27}

 \:  \:  \:  \sf{x + 4 =  > 25 + 4 = >  29}

  \:  \: \sf{hence \: numbers \: are \: 27 \: and \: 29}
