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

(17,-3) 20 apart and 14 in sum
