Answer:

  -66, 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number. Then the second number is 14-x, and the difference is ...

  x - (14-x) = -146

  2x = -132 . . . . . . add 14, collect terms

  x = -66 . . . . . . . . the first number

  14-x = 14-(-66) = 80 . . . . . . the second number

Answer:

-66 & 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 14 (1)

x - y = -146 (2)

Adding (1) & (2),

2x = -132

x = -66

y = 14 - x = 14 - (-66) = 14 + 66

y = 80
