The number of streets named Second Street is
The number of streets named Main Street is
Answer
So, the number of streets named Second Street is \(\boxed{7507}\) and the number of streets named Main Street is \(\boxed{7285}\).
Step 1 ：Let's denote the number of streets named Second Street as x and the number of streets named Main Street as y.
Step 2 ：We know that the total number of streets bearing one of these names is 14,792, so we can write this as an equation: \(x + y = 14792\).
Step 3 ：We also know that there are 222 more streets named Second Street than Main Street, so we can write this as another equation: \(x = y + 222\).
Step 4 ：We can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y.
Step 5 ：The solution to the system of equations is {x: 7507, y: 7285}.
Step 6 ：So, the number of streets named Second Street is \(\boxed{7507}\) and the number of streets named Main Street is \(\boxed{7285}\).
