Answer:

11 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers we'll call x and y. Let's set up equations to model the situation:

x+y=38

x-y=14

Solving the second one for x,

x=y+14

Plug this into the first equation for x and get:

(y+14)+y=36

2y+14=36

2y=36-14

2y=22

y=11

x-y=14

x-11=14

x=14+11

x=25
