Answer:

$\large\boxed{1.\ 38\ and\ 22}\\\boxed{1'.\ 42\ and\ 30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.\\x,\ y-the\ numbers\ (x>y)\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\underline{\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-y=16\\x+y=60\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad2x=76\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=38}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the second equation.}\\\\38+y=60\qquad\text{subtract 38 from both sides}\\\boxed{y=22}$

$1'.\\x-larger\ part\\x-12-smaller\ page\\\\x+(x-12)=72\\x+x-12=72\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\2x=84\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{x=42}\\\boxed{x-12=30}$
