One of the numbers is 1, and the other number is 22.

Explanation:

Let first number = x
Let second number = y

x + y = 23" " and
x+ 21 = y

Substitute the second equation into the first equation for y.

x + (x +21) = 23
2x + 21 = 23
2x = 2
x = 1

Plug in this number into one of the two equations to find the other number.

(1) + 21 = y
y = 22
