    X+y=46.4

    x-y=3.2

    solving for y

    3.2+y=x

    substitute

    3.2+y+y=46.4

    simplify

    3.2+2y=46.4

    solve for y

    y = (46.4-3.2) / 2

    y=21.6

    put y into equation

    x+y=46.4

    x+21.6=46.4

    x=46.4-21.6

    x=24.8

    your two numbers are 24.8 and 21.6
