Answer:

42 and 22 are the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

[tex]x + y = 64[/tex]

[tex]x - y = 20[/tex]

On adding both

[tex]x + y + x - y = 64 + 20[/tex]

[tex]2x = 84[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{84}{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = 42[/tex]

Using 1

[tex]42 + y = 64[/tex]

[tex]y = 64 - 42[/tex]

[tex]y = 22[/tex]
