2y = 22

y = 11

I think this is it plz don't get mad if it is wrong

Answer 2

The two numbers are: 21 and 11

Explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers.

x+y = 32

x-y = 10 Rewrite this as x = y+10 and substitute for x in the first equation.

(y+10) + y = 32 Simplify and solve for y.

2y+10 = 32 Subtract 10 from both sides.

2y = 22 Divide both sides by 2.

y = 11

x = y+10

x = 11+10

x = 21
