Make two equations
x + y = 59
Let’s pretend x = smaller number
x - 19 = y
Now use substitution
x + (x - 19) = 59
2x - 19 = 59
2x = 78, x = 39
Since they add up to 59
59 - 39 = 20 (the other number)

Solution: 20 and 39

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 59

y = x - 19

x + (x - 19) = 59

2x - 19 = 59

2x = 78

x = 39

y = 39 - 19

y = 20
