Answer:

The numbers are 50 & -72.

Explanation:

Let the first number is x and the second number is y.

According to the question:-

x + y = -22 ........(1)

x - y = 122 ........(2)

By adding equation 1 & 2-

2 x = 100

x = 50

Put X =50 in equation (1)-

y = -22 -50

y = -72

Hence the numbers are (50, -72).
