y=12

a

Answer 2

Answer:

x=14, y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y (x is greater than y)

according to question

the sum of two number is 26

so, x+y=26 -equation 1

again

their difference is 2

so, x-y=2 -equation 2

Now solving the two equation

we get

x=14 and y=12

Therefore,the numbers are 14 and 12.
