Answer:

Explanation:

Let's assume one of the number be 'x'.

We are given that, A number is 9 more than another number. So, the other number can be written as 9 + x.

Acc to the question,

$\sf 2(x + 9 + x) = 14$

$\sf 2x + 18 + 2x = 14$

$\sf 4x + 18 = 14$

Subtract 18 from both sides

$\sf 4x + 18 -18= 14 - 18$

$\sf 4x = - 4$

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

$\bf x = -1$

Hence the first number is -1.

Since the other number is 9 + x, substituting the value of x.

$\sf 9 + x = 9 + (-1)$

$\sf 9 + x = 9 - 1$

$\bf 9 + x = 8$

Hence, the two numbers are -1 and 8
