Answer:

x=34

y=20

Explanation:

let the first number be 'x'

let the second number be 'y'

Equation 1:-

x + y = 54

Equation 2:-

x = y + 14  (Since one exceeds the other by 14)

Substituting Equation 2 in Equation 1:-

(y + 14) + y = 54

=> y + 14 + y = 54

=> 2y + 14 = 54

=> 2y = 54 - 14

=> 2y = 40

=> y = 40/2

=> y = 20

Now in Equation 1:-

x + y = 54

Substituting y=20,

x + 20 = 54

x = 54 - 20

x = 34
