Answer:

x = 23 and y = 15

Let one number be x and another be y

The sum of two numbers is 38

x + y = 38

x = 38 - y

The greater number is 8 more than the other number.

x - y = 8

x = 8 + y

solve both equations:

8 + y = 38 - y

y + y = 38 - 8

2y = 30

y = 15

solve for x:

x = 8 + y

x = 8 + 15

x = 23
