Answer:

x = 37

y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number = x

Let the smaller number = y

x + y = 62

x - y = 12            Add

2x = 74               Divide by 2

x = 74/2

x = 37

x - y = 12

37 -y = 12          Subtract 37 from both sides

-y = 12 - 37

-y = -25            Multiply both sides by - 1

y = 25
