    Answer: 5 and 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    From the question,

    Let the first number be x

    And the second be y

    x + y = 8

    x - y = 2

    Add the equations

    x + y + x - y = 8 + 2

    2x = 10

    x=5

    Slot the value of x into any of the equations: x + y = 8

    5 + y = 8

    y = 8 - 5

    y = 3
