Answer:

-5 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers (let's just say number a and number b) is 12.

a + b = 12

The difference between the same two numbers (still a and b) is 22.

b - a = 22

(Move variable a to the right side to get the following.)

b = 22 + a

(This way, we can substitute b = 22 + a into the first equation, a + b = 12, and solve.)

a + (22 + a) = 12

a + a + 22 = 12

2a = -10

a = -5

a + b = 12

-5 + b = 12

b = 17
