2.

  The larger number is 40.

The smaller number is 19

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x-21) = 59   This is the number and the  number difference add to 59.

x + x = 59 + 21    Add 21 to both sides. Combine like terms.

2x = 80  divide both sides by 2

x= 40 This is the first number.  Subtract 21 to get the second number

40 - 21 = 19

The difference between 40 and 19 is 21.

19 + 40 = 59
