    Let's make 2 equations.

    A+B=334

    A = 7B-18

    Let's replace a in the first equation with the second equation.

    7B-18+B=334

    Simplify.

    8B-18=334

    add 18 to both sides.

    8B = 352

    Divide.

    352:8

    44

    So, one number is 44. Let's put 44 for B in the first equation in order to find a.

    A+44=334

    334-44

    290

    So a equals 290. Let's make sure by using the second equation.

    7 (44) - 18

    308-18

    290

    One number equals 44, while another number equals 290.
