179 and 115.
Let the two numbers be x and y. Then:
adding the two equations above give:
x + x + y - y = 294 + 64
⇒ 2x = 358
⇒ x = 179
To find y, substituting for x in (1) above gives:
x + y = 264
⇒ 179 + y = 264
⇒ y = 115
To check the answer, substituting for x and y in (2) above gives:
x - y = 64
⇒ x - y = 179 - 115
= 64 as required.
