Answer:

10 and 28

Explanation:

let x be one number then the other is x + 18 ( 18 more than the other ), then

x + x + 18 = 38

2x + 18 = 38 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10

and x + 18 = 10 + 18 = 28

the 2 numbers which divide 38 into the 2 parts are 10 and 18
