---------------
x = y + 9
x + y = 37
-----
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y"::
y+9+y = 37
2y = 28
y = 14
---
x = y+9 = 14+9 = 23

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Make the original number = x
Other number = x + 9
x + (x + 9) = 37
x + x + 9 = 37
2x + 9 = 37
2x = 37 - 9
2x = 28
x = 14
Original number = 14
Other number = 23
Hope this helps :-)
