Answer:

37 and -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x and other y

1 x + 1 y = 19 .............1

1 x -1 y = 55 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by 1

Multiply (2) by 1

1 x 1 y = 19

1 x + -1 y = 55

Add the two equations

2 x = 74

/ 2

x = 37

plug value of x in (1)

1 x + 1 y = 19

37 + 1 y = 19

1 y = 19 -37

1 y = -18

y = -18

37 and -18
