Answer:

  13, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the smaller. The sum of the numbers is ...

  s + (s+9) = 35

  2s = 26 . . . . . . subtract 9

  s = 13

  s+9 = 22

The two numbers are 13 and 22.

Additional comment

As you can see, the smaller number is half the difference of the sum and difference: s = (35-9)/2. This is the generic solution to a "sum and difference" problem.
