Answer 2

Answer:

7 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

x > y

x + y = 9 -----> eq 1.

x - y = 5 ------> eq 2.

Add eq 1 and eq 2,

x + y = 9

x - y  = 5

_______

2x + 0 = 14

2x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7

Substitute x = 7 in eq 1,

7 + y = 9

y = 9 - 7

y = 2

The two numbers ate 7 and 2.
