Answer 2

Answer:

The two required numbers are 85.5 and 111.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Given that x + y = 200 .........(1)

and x = y + 23

So, substituting value of x in equation (1) we get,

y + 23 + y =200

2y = 177

y = 177/2 = 88.5

so, x = 88.5 + 23

x = 111.5
