Answer:

Numbers are 14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

Write 2 equations:

x + y = 22

x - y = 6

Solve by substitution:

x - y = 6

x = y + 6

Plug into the other equation:

(y + 6) + y = 22

2y + 6 = 22

2y = 16

y = 8

Plug into either equation:

x + 8 = 22

x = 14

Numbers are 14 and 8
