x+y=80

x-y=36 ——–> x=y+36

substitute.

(y+36) +y= 80

2y+36=80

80-36=2y

44=2y

22=y

and the other number is 58

x + y = 80

x – y = 36

So, x = 80 – y and also, x = 36 + y

Since x = x, that means that 80 -y = 36 + y

80 – 36 = 2y

44 = 2y

y = 22

If x + y = 80, then that means x + 22 = 80, and x = 80-22, so x =58.
