    First number = X

    second number = x + 26 (exceeds means higher so add 26)

    x + x+26 = 58

    combine like terms:

    2x + 26 = 58

    subtract 26 from each side:

    2x = 58-26

    2x = 32

    divide both sides by 2:

    x = 32/2

    x = 16

    first number is 16

    second number = 16+26 = 42
