Answer 1

$\text{Let the two numbers be x and y with x>y }$

$\text{As per given data,}$

$x+y=26$.....(1)

$x=2y+2$.....(2)

$\text{Using (2) in (1), we get}$

$2y+2+y=26$

$\implies\;3y=24$

$\implies\;y=\frac{24}{3}$

$\implies\bf\;y=8$

$\text{Put y=8 in (1), we get}$

$x+8=26$

$\implies\bf\;x=18$

$\therefore\textbf{The required numbers are 18 and 8}$
