Answer 2

$first \: \: number=14 \\ second \: \: number=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let, \: first \: \: number=x \: \: \: and \: \: \: second \: \: number=y \\ A/Q, \: \: x + y = 26 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x - y = 2 \\ On \: \: adding \: \: both \: \: the \: \: equations, \\ (x + y) + (x - y) = 26 + 2 \\ x + y + x - y = 26 + 2\\ 2x = 28 \\ x = \frac{28}{2} \\ \boxed{ x = 14} \\ putting \: \: value \: \: of \: \: x \: \: in \: \: x + y = 26 \\ then, \: \: \: \: 14 + y = 26 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: y = 26 - 14 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{y = 12}$
