Answer:
-5 and 17
Explanation:
The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.
a + b = 12
The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.
b - a = 22
(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)
b = 22 + a
(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)
a + (22 + a) = 12
a + a + 22 = 12
2a = -10
a = -5
a + b = 12
-5 + b = 12
b = 17
