Sum of two numbers is 62?
Let's call the two numbers [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex]

let's find two same numbers that would add up to 62: 31.
31 + 31 = 62

since it said the difference is 8, we have to add 4 to one number and subtract 4 from another.
31 - 4 = 27
31 + 4 = 35

Therefore, the two numbers following the given rules are 27 and 35
