Hello!

You can make two expressions based on what you know

x + y = 170
x - y = 110

You can add these expressions to eliminate y

2x = 280

Divide both sides by 2

x = 140

You can now put x into one of the original expression

140 + y = 170

Subtract 140 from both sides

y = 30

So the greater number is 140

Hope this helps!

X+y=170
x-y=110
2x=280
x=140 is an answer
