Question 520937
If the first number is ten more than the second then

Let the second number = x
Let the first number = x + 10

the sum of both is 22 so

(x) + (x + 10) = 22

combine like symbols

2x + 10 = 22

subtract ten from both sides

2x = 12

divide both sides by 2

x = 6

the two numbers are 6 and 16.
