The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39      ⇒x=39/2=19.5

  x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
   2y=9    ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

z = 106

y = 74

Since angle 74 and angle y are the same sizes, you can know for a fact they are the same measurments. Next, you would do 74(2) and that would get you 148. 360 - 148 is 212. 212/2 is 106. TADAAAAA. That's the answer.
