Let one number be = x
Let the other number be = y
A.T.Q.
x + y = 39 ------ (1)
x - y = 15 ------- (2)
From (1)
x = 39 - y -------- (3)
Putting (3) in (2)
x - y = 15
( 39 - y ) - y = 15
39 - 2y = 15
39 - 15 = 2y
24 = 2y
y =
y = 12 ------ (4)
Putting (4) in (1)
x + y = 39
x + 14 = 39
x = 39 - 14
x = 25
∴ One number is 25 and the other number is 14 .

Answer:
The two numbers are 27 and 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
therefore,
x+y = 39 __________ Eqn 1
x-y = 15 __________ Eqn 2
Adding Eqn 1 and Eqn 2
(x+y)+(x-y) = 39+15
x+y+x-y = 54
x+x+y-y = 54
2x+0 = 54
2x = 54
x = 54/2
x = 27
Now,
since, x-y=15
then, 27-y = 15 (since x=27)
y = 27 - 15
y = 12
