Hi there! ☃️

Let the numbers be x and y

Given that,

$\:\mathsf{x\:\: +\: y\:\: =\: 11}$ ____1

and

$\:\mathsf{x\:\: -\: y\: \:=\: 5}$ ____2

By Elimination method

We get,

$\:\mathsf{x\: +\: y\: =\: 11}$

$\:\mathsf{x\:\: -\:\: y\:\: =\: 5}$

- ⠀⠀+ ⠀ ⠀-

____________

2y = 6

=> y = 3

By putting y = 3

=> x + 3 = 11

=> x = 8

Therefore the numbers are 8 and 3.
