$therefore$ The no.s are $color(red)(13$ and $color(red)(13+15=28$

Let the 2 no.s be $x$ and $x+15$

According to the question,

$x+x+15=41$

$2x+15=41$

$2x=41-15$

$2x=26$

$x=26/2$

$color(magenta)(x=13$

$therefore$ The no.s are $color(red)(13$ and $color(red)(13+15=28$

~Hope this helps! :)

$28$ and $13$

$28-13=15$

$13+15=28$

$28+13=41$
