    Answer:

    68

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let The first number = X

    & the Second one = X + 16

    Sum of these two numbers = 120

    X + X + 16 = 120

    2X = 120 – 16

    2X = 104

    X = 52

    So , the first number = 52

    & Second one = 52 + 16 = 68

    Answer:

    The numbers are 52 and 68.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x be the first number and y be the second. The question tells us that:

    1) x = y + 16

    2) (x + y) / 2 = 60

    2 equations, 2 unknowns. Solve the system. Plug equation 1 into equation 2:

    (y + 16 + y) / 2 = 60

    2y + 16 = 120

    y + 8 = 60

    y = 52

    Now plug the value of y back into either original equation. I’ll use the first:

    x = 52 + 16

    x = 68
