Answer:
They say that the sum of the two numbers (x and y) is 64, so we can write our first equation by adding them and setting that sum equal to 64:
x + y = 64
The question also tells us that their difference is 14. Similarly to before, we'll just subtract the two numbers and set that difference equal to 14:
x - y = 14
Now from here, you know how to continue with substitution to find the values for x and y. Just remember when you get a word problem to break it down and look for key words like sum, difference, or product, and from there you'll be able to build your system of equations.

------------------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Problem 33)
RS = ST, means that the vertex angle is at angle S
Angle S = 44
Angle R = x, angle T = x are the base angles
R+S+T = 180
x+44+x = 180
2x+44 = 180
2x+44-44 = 180-44
2x = 136
2x/2 = 136/2
x = 68
So angle R is 68 degrees
-----------------
Problem 35)
Angle A = angle H
Angle B = angle I
Angle C = angle J
A = 97
B = 4x+4
C = J = 37
A+B+C = 180
97+4x+4+37 = 180
4x+138 = 180
4x+138-138 = 180-138
4x = 42
4x/4 = 42/4
x = 21/2
x = 10.5
-----------------
Problem 36)
GD is the median of triangle ACG. It stretches from the vertex G to point D. Point D is the midpoint of segment AC
-----------------
Problem 37)
Segment AB is an altitude of triangle ACG. It is perpendicular to line CG (extend out segment CG) and it goes through vertex A.
-----------------
Problem 38)
triangle LMN = triangle PQR
LM = PQ
MN = QR
LN = PR
Since LM = PQ, we can say 2x+3 = 5x-15. Let's solve for x
2x+3 = 5x-15
2x-5x = -15-3
-3x = -18
x = -18/(-3)
x = 6
Similarly, MN = QR, so 9 = 3y+3
Solve for y
9 = 3y+3
3y+3 = 9
3y+3-3 = 9-3
3y = 6
3y/3 = 6/3
y = 2
-----------------
Problem 40)
The remote interior angles (2x and 21) add up to the exterior angle (3x-8)
2x+21 = 3x-8
2x-3x = -8-21
-x = -29
x = 29
-----------------
Problem 41)
For any quadrilateral, the four angles always add to 360 degrees
J+K+L+M = 360
3x+45+2x+45 = 360
5x+90 = 360
5x+90-90 = 360-90
5x = 270
5x/5 = 270/5
x = 54
Use this to find L
L = 2x
L = 2*54
L = 108
-----------------
Problem 42)
The adjacent or consecutive angles are supplementary. They add to 180 degrees
K+N = 180
2x+40 = 180
2x+40-40 = 180-40
2x = 140
2x/2 = 140/2
x = 70
-----------------
Problem 43)
All sides of the rhombus are congruent, so WX = WZ.
Triangle WPZ is a right triangle (right angle at point P).
Use the pythagorean theorem to find PW
a^2+b^2 = c^2
(PW)^2+(PZ)^2 = (WZ)^2
(PW)^2+256 = 400
(PW)^2+256-256 = 400-256
(PW)^2 = 144
PW = sqrt(144)
PW = 12
WY = 2*PW
WY = 2*12
WY = 24
