By solving a system of equations, we see that:

x = 89 and y = 98.

How to find the two numbers?

First, we can write:

x = a*10 + b

y = b*10 + c

Where a, b, and c are single digit numbers. You can see that b is on both numbers because we know that the numbers share a digit, but on different order.

We also know that:

x + y = 187

a + b + b + c = 34

I we rewrite the first equation, we get:

(a*10 + b) + (b*10 + c) = 187

10a + 11b + c = 187

Then we have two equations:

a + 2b + c = 34

10a + 11b + c = 187

In both equations we can isolate c:

34 -2b -a = c

10a + 11b - 187 = c

Now we have:

-a - 2b + 34  = -10a - 11b + 187

Solving that, we get:

9a + 9b = 153

a + b = 153/9 = 17

Then a and b add up to 17, we can take:

a = 8

b = 9

And:

c = -a - 2b + 34 = -8 - 9 - 9 + 34 = 8

Then the numbers are:

x = 89

y = 98
