    Create equations using the given information

    1) x+y=56

    2) y=x-16

    Substitute the value of y into the 1st equation and simplify

    1) x+x-16=56

    2x=72

    x=36

    Substitute the value of x into the 1st equation and simplify

    1) x+y=56

    36+y=56

    y=20

    Answer: 20 and 36
