Answer:

The numbers are 17 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 22

x - y = 12

Add y to both sides of the equation

x = 12 + y

Substitute new value for x into first equation

12 + y + y = 22

Add the y's

12 + 2y = 22

Subtract 12 from both sides

2y = 10

y = 5

22 - 5 = 17

The numbers are 17 and 5

Hope this helps :)
