The two numbers in question obtained by creating a system of equations are 56 and 36

Let the two numbers be : a and b

  • a + b = 92 ___(1)
  • a - b = 20.___(2)

From (2):

  • a = 20 + b. ____(3)

Substitute (3) into (1)

a + b = 92

20 + b + b = 92

20 + 2b = 92

2b = 92 - 20

2b = 72

b = 72/2

b = 36

From (3) :

a = 20 + 36

a = 56

Therefore, the two numbers are 56 and 36
