Pretty easy my friend, consider the two numbers we want x and y

x + y = 94
x - y = 12

Now you solve the system

x = 94 - y
94 - y - y = 12

x = 94 - y
94 - 2y = 12

x = 94 - y
- 2y = 12 - 94

x = 94 - y
- 2y = - 82

x = 94 - y
2y = 82

x = 94 - y
y = 41

x = 94 - 41
y = 41

x = 53
y = 41

Lets denote the numbers x and y:

The sum of two numbers 94 → x + y = 94

Their difference is 12 → x - y = 12

We have:

x + y = 94

x - y = 12

---------------- Add both equations

2x = 106

x = 106/2

x = 53

Using first equation:

x + y = 94

53 + y = 94

y = 94 - 53

y = 41

A/ The numbers are 53 and 41.
