Question 1128117
.
<pre>
The condition LITERALLY says THIS:


{{{(x+y)/2}}} = 26,     (1)

{{{(x-y)/2}}} = 19.     (2)


Add the equations. You will get


{{{x/2}}} + {{{x/2}}} = 26 + 19 = 45,   or   x = 45.


Now SUBTRACT eq(2) from eq(1). Then you will get

y = 26-19 = 7.


<U>Answer</U>.  The numbers are 45 and 7.
