Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

13


Discussion:


Let the numbers in the Question be call m and n. Then

m + n = 37      

m - n =  11          


Adding these 2 equations gives:

(m+ n) + (m - n)  = 37 +11    =>

(m+m) + (n-n) = 48 =>

2m +      0     = 48  =>

m = 24.

As m + n = 37, 24 +n = 37 , so n = 13.



Thank you,



MrB
