Answer:

Two numbers are 8 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Two numbers have a sum of 23. One number is 7 more than the other

To find the numbers

Let 'x' be the one number,

then the next number is 23 - x

Also,  One number is 7 more than the other

x + 7 = 23 - x

x + x = 23 - 7

2x = 16

x = 16/2 = 8

23 - x = 23 - 8 = 15

Therefore two numbers are 8 and 15
