x+y=50
x-y=16
by adding equations................
2x=50+16
2x=66
x=66/2
x=33
2y=50-16
2y=34
y=34/2
y=17
hence the 1st number is 33 and 2nd number is 17

Let the two numbers be x and y
So, we get two equations:
x+y=50
x-y=16
If x-y=16, then x =y+16
Replace value of x in other equation
Hence y +16+y=50
Hence 2y +16=50
Hence 2y=50–16
Hence 2y=34
Hence y =34/2=17
Replace value of y in first equation
x+17=50
x=50–17=33
Hence x=33 and y=17
