Your question was what two number have the sum 39 and the difference 13. well its the numbers 26 & 13. the way i found that out was subtarcting the numbers that were already present. i used the number i got and added it to other numbers until i got the sum 39. then when i got it i checked it to see if it was correct and it was.
