That's interesting. Thanks for stopping by.
While you're here, would you like to know what the two numbers are ?
You can calculate them as follows:

x + y = 2
x - y = 26

Add the two equations:
2x = 28

x = 14

Subtract the second original equation from the first one:
2y = -24

y = -12

==============================

Check:

Sum: 14 - 12 = 2
Difference: 14 - (-12) = 26
yay!
