Answer:

24 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assign the variables x and y to the two numbers we can set up two equations,

x+y = 62

x = y + 14

Substituting the second equation into the first,

(y+14)+y = 62

2y + 14 = 62

subtract 14 on both sides

2y = 48

divideboth sides by 2

y = 24

If y = 24, then x = 38 because x is 14 more than y.
