Answer:

11 and 21

Explanation:

Let the first number equal x. If the first number, the second number is ten more, and can represented as x + 10. Now, the sum is 32, so we can add the two numbers to get 32:

x + x + 10 = 32

2x + 10 = 32

2x = 22

x = 11

If the first number 11, the second number is 10 more, and therefore is 21.
