Let the two numbers be ( x ) and ( y ). From the problem, we have the equations ( x + y = 17 ) and ( x - y = 2 ). Solving these simultaneously, we add the equations to get ( 2x = 19 ), which gives ( x = 9.5 ). Substituting ( x ) back into the first equation, ( y = 17 - 9.5 = 7.5 ). Thus, the two numbers are 9.5 and 7.5.
