Step-by-step explanation:

a few points to help that are related to numbers

Sum of two odd numbers will always be even.

Sum of two even numbers will always be even.

Sum of one odd and one even number will always be odd.

Let the both numbers be first and second.

According to the problem statement:

first + second = 19

first – second = 5

Add both equations:

first + second + first – second = 19 + 5

2 * first = 24

first = 24 / 2

first = 12

So from this we get first = 12, put this value in any equation i.e.

first + second = 19 (Put the value of first in this equation)

12+ second = 19

second = 19 – 12

second = 7

So, the numbers are 12 and 7.
