Answer:

[tex]Suppose~the~two~numbers~are~x~and~y.\\From~the~first~condition,\\x+y=-17...........(1)\\From~the~second~condition,\\x-y=41.............(2)\\Adding~eq^n(1)~and~eq^n(2),~we~get,\\x+y+x-y=-17+41\\or, 2x = 24\\or, x=12\\Substituting~x=12~in~eq^n(2),\\y = -17-x = -17-12 = -29[/tex]

[tex]So,~the~two~numbers~are~12~and~-29.[/tex]
