Let

x-------> first decimal

y------> second decimal

we know that


y-x=16.825


y=16.825+x

Assume the value of x and find the value of y with the equation

so

For
x=3.875

Find the value of y

Substitute the value of x in the equation


y=16.825+x


y=16.825+3.875


y=20.700

therefore

the answer is

The two possible decimals are


3.875


20.700
