Representation:

• Let x and y be the two numbers.

Equation:

• x + y = 56
• x - y = 18

• x + y = 56
• x - y = 18

------

• x = 18 + y
• 18 + y + y = 56
• 18 + 2y = 56
• 2y = 56 - 18
• 2y = 38
• 2[2y = 38]2
• y = 19

------

• x - y = 18
• x - 19 = 18
• x = 18 + 19
• x = 37

• The two numbers are 37 and 19.
