    The numbers are 40 and 22

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x and y be the two numbers; let x be the smaller number

    x+y = 62

    x = y-18

    x+y = 62 becomes:

    y-18+y = 62

    2y-18=62

    2y=80

    y=40 (larger number)

    x = y-18 = 40-18 = 22

    Thus making the answers 40 and 22.
