77 & 109
because half of 186 is 93 and half of 32 is 16 so for the numbers to be 32 apart and both 16 away from 93

lets first number is x, so second number is (x+32).
The sum of these numbers is 186 so
x+(x+32)=186
2x+32=186
2x=154
x=77
second number is x+32=77+32=109
Answer: numbers are 77 and 109
