Answer:

The 2 numbers are 13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 numbers are x and y we have:-

x + y = 36

x - y = 10

Adding:-

2x = 46

x = 23

So y = 36 - 23 = 13

x + y = 36

x - y = 10

Rewrite second equation: x = 10 + y

Plug x into first equation

10 + y + y = 36

2y = 36 - 10

2y = 26

y = 13

x = 23
