since a+b = 35
and a+13 = b
you can substitute (a+13) in for b for the first equation
a + a + 13 = 35
2a + 13 = 35
2a = 22
a = 11
you can now substitute in 11 for a in to the second equation
11 + 13 = b
24 = b
the two numbers and the 11 and 24

let b>a
b=a+13
a+b=35, using b found above we have:
a+a+13=35
2a+13=35
2a=22
a=11, and since b=a+13
b=24
So the two numbers are 11 and 24
