Answer:

29 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: rewrite the sentences as equations:

equation 1: x+y=52

equation 2: x-y=6

Step 2: add those two equations together to get:

2x=58

x=29

Step 3: substitute x in one of the first equations to get y:

29-y=6

y=23

Step 4: Check with the other equation:

x+y=52

29+23=52✔
