find two number whose sum is 114 and difference is 58. (has to be resolved using systems of linear equations. with 2 equations and method of solution)

i have the end solution, just want to make sure its correct. i know this can be resolve with one variable. but of course we need to do what is asked for.
thanks so much

It's hard to see your answer from here, but it's wrong.
