Answer:

3 and 19 are the numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers

x-y = 16

x+y =22

Add the two equations together

x-y = 16

x+y =22

------------------

2x = 38

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 38/2

x = 19

x+y =22

19+y =22

Subtact 19 from each side

19-19+y =22-19

y =3
