Answer:
Larger First number: 109
Second number: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 181
x - y = 37
x = 37 + y
(37 + y) + y = 181
37 + y + y = 181
37 + 2y = 181
2y = 144
y = 72
x - y = 37
x - 72 = 37
x = 109
Check:
x + y = 181
109 + 72 = 181
181 = 181
x - y = 37
109 - 72 = 37
37 = 37
Larger number is x = 109
