Answer:
This is a good exercise in building and solving a set of equations. Let X and Y be the two numbers. Then you are told their sum is 36, so write;
X + Y = 36
Then you are told their difference is 9, so write;
X - Y = 9
Now elliminate Y by adding the two equations;
X + Y = 36
X - Y = 9
---------------------
2X = 45
X = 45 / 2
X = 22.5 .
Now you can find Y by substituting this answer into either of the two original equations
22.5 + Y = 36
Y = 36 - 22.5
Y = 13.5
And
22.5 - Y = 9
- Y = 9 - 22.5
- Y = - 13.5
Y = 13.5
Then you replace the Y with 13.5
22.5 - 13.5 = 9
22.5 + 13.5 = 36
