Answer:

347 and 865

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two number be x and y

Therefore, from the given information:

x + y = 1212

x - y = 518

Rewrite both equations to make x the subject:

x = 1212 - y

x = 518 + y

Equate equations and solve for y:

1212 - y = 518 + y

     694 = 2y

         y = 347

Substitute found value of y into one of the equations and solve for x:

x = 518 + 347

x = 865

Therefore, the two numbers are 347 and 865
