Answer:

37

Explanation:

Well, if both numbers add up to or equal to 74 it would only make sense it is 74. Hence, 37+37 equal 74 and there is only 2 numbers and both those numbers is 74.

If you make this an equation it becomes x + (x+2) = 74.
2x+2 = 74
2x =72
x = 36
So the first is 36 and the second is 38
