Answer:

x-y=2.5,xy=21

Explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

One of the numbers is x.

The other number is y.

The difference between two numbers is 2.5

This means that x - y = 2.5

The product of those two numbers is 21.

This means that xy = 21.

So the two equations are: x-y=2.5,xy=21
