The numbers are:  36 and 11 .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Let us represent the TWO (2) numbers with the variables;
         "x" and "y" .
__________________________________________
     x + y = 47 .

     y − x = 25.
__________________________________________
Since:  " y − x = 25 " ;

Solve for "y" in terms of "x" ;

  y − x = 25  ;

Add "x" to each side of the equation:
_____________________________________________
   y − x + x  = 25 + x  ;

to get:

   y = 25 + x .

Now, since:

  x + y = 47 ;

Plug in "(25 + x)" as a substitution for "y"; to solve for "x" :

x + (25 + x) = 47  ;

x + 25 + x + 47 ;

2x + 25 = 47 ;

Subtract "25" from each side of the equation:

2x + 25 − 25 = 47 − 25 ;

2x  = 22  ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 
 
2x / 2 = 22 / 2 ;

    x = 11 ;
______________________________________________
x + y = 47<span> ;

</span>Plug in "11" for "x" into the equation ; to solve for "y" ;

11 + y = 47 ;

Subtract "11" from EACH SIDE of the equation;
  to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

 11 + y − 11 =  47 − 11  ;

            y = 36 .
___________________________________________
So:  x = 11 , y = 36 ;
___________________________________________
 Let us check our work:

y − x = 25 ;

36 − 11 =? 25 ?  Yes!

x + y = 47 ;

36 + 11 =? 47 ? Yes!
______________________________________________
The numbers are:  36 and 11 .

What is the difference between arcsin and sin^-1 ?
Len [333]

_______________


Both refer to the inverse sine function.

The inverse sine (or arcsine) of x:

\mathsf{f(x)=arcsin(x)=sin^{-1}(x)}


where x is a real number in the domain of the function:

\mathsf{-1\le x\le 1}


and the arcsine function returns an angle in the interval  \mathsf{\left[-\,\frac{\pi}{2},\,\frac{\pi}{2}\right]:}

\mathsf{-\,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\le arcsin(x)\le \dfrac{\pi}{2}}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{range of the inverse sine function.}


So if you see anywhere one of these expressions below

\mathsf{\theta=arcsin(x)~~or~~\theta=sin^{-1}(x)}


then you should look for an angle \theta that satisfies the following conditions:

\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\bullet\end{array}\normalsize\begin{array}{l}\mathsf{sin\,\theta=x;} \end{array}\\\\\\&#10;\footnotesize\begin{array}{l}\bullet\end{array}\normalsize\begin{array}{l}\mathsf{\dfrac{\pi}{2} \le \theta\le\dfrac{\pi}{2}.} \end{array}


This angle \theta is called the inverse sine of the real number x.

______


Pay attention and do not mistake the arcsine function for the reciprocal of sine (which is cosecant); especially if you prefer or see that notation with an superscript -1. This one can be easily mistaken for an exponent:

\mathsf{sin^{-1}(x)=arcsin(x)\qquad\quad\checkmark}


but the reciprocal is something like

\mathsf{\big[sin(x)\big]^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{sin\,(x)}=csc(x)\qquad\quad(!!)}

and this last one has a total different meaning.


I hope this helps. =)
