Let's call the two numbers "x" and "y".
From the problem, we know:
x + y = 32 (equation 1)
x - y = 18 (equation 2)
To solve for x and y, we can use the elimination method.
Add equations 1 and 2:
2x = 50
x = 25
Now we can substitute x = 25 into either equation to solve for y. Let's use equation 1:
25 + y = 32
y = 7
Therefore, the two numbers are 25 and 7.
he sum of two numbers if 32 and their difference is 18. find the two numbers
