<PRE><B>Question 522981</B>
Let the first number be - x
--------------------------------------
Let the second number be - x+18
--------------------------------------
the sum of the numbers is - 92
--------------------------------------
Required equation -

      x+(x+18) = 92
        x+x+18 = 92
         2x+18 = 92
            2x = 92-18
            2x = 74
             x = 74/2
             x = 37
---------------------------------------
So,the first number  -   x  = 37
   the second number - x+18 = 37+18 = 55
=======================================
Therefore , the numbers are 37 and 55
