    Let us assume one number = x

    and Let us assume the other number to be = y

    Then

    x + y = 170

    and

    x - y = 26

    Adding the two equations, we get

    2x = 196

    x = 98

    Putting the value of x in the first equation, we get

    x + y = 170

    98 + y = 170

    y = 170 - 98

    = 72

    The solution can be written as (98, 72). I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
