The sum of two numbers is 65. the smaller number is 21 less than the larger number. what are the numbers?

x=43 and y=22

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 65

let y = smaller the y = x -21

Then x + (x - 21) = 65

2x = 86

x = 43

then plug that into y = 43 - 21 = 22

X will be 43 as my will be 22.

Hope this helps.
