Two numbers: x and y.

x+16=y

x+x+16=54

2x+16=54

2x=38

x=19

19+y=54

y=35

Answer:

x = 35

y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

16 + x + y = 54

-16              -16

x + y = 38

          ÷2

x = 19

y = 19

The larger number is 16 more than the smaller number

x = 19 + 16 = 35

x = 35

y = 19

35 + 19 = 54

54 = 54

I hope this helps!
