Answer:

22 and 10

Explanation:

There is 2 ways to do this exercise:

You can use either (32-12) / 2 to find the lower number first or (32+12)/2 to find the higher number first.

You can find 20 / 2 = 10 for the lower number

and the other number would be = 32 - 10 = 22

Or

You can find 44 / 2 = 22 for the higher number

and the other number would be 32 - 22 = 10

Hope this help :3
