Given the numerical statement:

Two numbers with a difference of 18.

Representation:

The given numerical statement can be written as,

Let x = First number

y = Second number

We will separate the first number and the second number with a subtraction sign which indicates the operation of subtraction and having a difference of 18.

x - y = 18

We cannot solve for the first and second numbers since we do not have any further conditions. Thus we have the representation as our final answer.

Final answer:

x - y = 18
