Answer:

So we know the sum of two numbers, let them be x and y, is equal to 36:

x + y = 36

And on of them, for example, y, is equal to 10:

x + 10 = 36

Now, the only thing we need to do is solving the equation to find x:

x + 10 = 36

We pass the 10 substracting to the right:

x = 36 - 10

And now, we substract:

x = 26

Now we know one number is 10 and the other is 26, so we can verify we have done all correctly

26 + 10 = 36 (TRUE)

Now we know we have done the exercise well.
