One number exceeds another by 2. The sum of the number is 52. What are the numbers

If both numbers were the same, then each one would be half of 52 ... that's 26.

OK, swell.

Take the 26 and 26. Take 1 away from one of the pair and glue it on the other one. You didn't change their sum, but now you have 25 and 27. Those differ by 2 ... exactly what you're looking for !
