    Let the numbers be x and y

    x + y = 44 ... (i)

    x - y = 16 ... (ii)

    Add equations (i) and (ii)

    x + y + x - y = 44 + 16

    2x = 60

    2x = 60

    x = 60/2 = 30

    Recall x + y = 44

    30 + y = 44

    y = 44 - 30

    y = 14

    Large Number = 30

    Small Number = 16
