Answer:

12 and 176

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be n , then the other number is 14n + 8, that is 8 more than 14 times the other number n.

sum the two numbers and equate to 188

n + 14n + 8 = 188 ( simplify left side )

15n + 8 = 188 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

15n = 180 ( divide both sides by 15 )

n = 12

and

14n + 8 = 14(12) + 8 = 168 + 8 = 176

The two numbers are then 12 and 176
