    Let b>a

    b-a=18

    b=18+a and we are told that:

    a+b=42, using b from above we have:

    a+18+a=42

    2a+18=42

    2a=24

    a=12, since b=18+a

    b=30

    So the two numbers are 12 and 30.

    30 and 12 because add them together and they get 42 and subtract them they are 18.
