Let the two numbers be x and y. The sum of x and y is 14 and the difference is 20. We can write a system of equations and solve:
[tex]x-y=20 \\ x+y=14 \\ 2x=34 \\ x=17[/tex]
Then substitute x back into one of the equations to find y:
[tex]x+y=14 \\ 17+y=14 \\ y=-3[/tex]
So the two numbers are 17 and -3
[tex]x-y=20 \\ x+y=14 \\ 2x=34 \\ x=17[/tex]
Then substitute x back into one of the equations to find y:
[tex]x+y=14 \\ 17+y=14 \\ y=-3[/tex]
So the two numbers are 17 and -3
