Answer:
22 and 24
Step-by-step explanation:
If we call the numbers a and b, assuming b is the higher of the two, we know that
a + b = 46
b - a = 2
So
b = 2 + a (rewritten the second)
a + 2 + a = 46 (plug second into first)
2a = 44 (simplify a+a=2a and 46-2=44)
a = 22 (divide by 2)
b = 22+2=24 (fill in a in second)
