Answer:

given sum of two numbers =8

let the numbers be x and y

x+y=8( eq 1)

also given there difference is 32

x-y=32

x=32+y ( substitute in eq2)

x+y=8

(32+y)+y=8.

32+2y=8

2y=8-32

2y= -24

y= -12

now to get the value of x substitute the value of y in equation 1.

x+y=8

x-12=8

x=20

therefore the value of x and y are -12 and 20

hope it helps!!!
