Answer:
62 and 150
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 numbers be x and y , x > y , then
x + y = 212 → (1)
x - y = 88 → (2)
add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate y
2x + 0 = 300
2x = 300 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 150
substitute x = 150 into (1)
150 + y = 212 ( subtract 150 from both sides )
y = 62
the 2 numbers are 62 and 150
