    Let the numbers be x and y.

    Sum means addition.

    Difference means subtraction.

    x + y = 22

    x - y = 12

    Add the equations above.

    2x = 34

    x = 17

    Now substitute 17 for x in the first equation.

    x + y = 22

    17 + y = 22

    y = 5

    The numbers are 5 and 17.

    22 - 12 = 10

    10 : 2 = 5

    5 + 12 = 17
