You can experiment with different numbers (trial-and-error). You can also write this as simultaneous equations:

a + b = 50 (the sum of the two numbers is 50)

a - b = 10 (the difference is 10)

There are several approaches to simultaneous equations; in this case, it is easy to solve by adding the two equations together:

a + b + a - b = 60

2a = 60

a = 30

So, the first number is 30. You can get the second number by replacing in any of the original equations.
