* Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let the two numbers be x and y. x+y = 7 ----- (1)
7 ----- (1)x−y = 1 ----- (2)
1 ----- (2) Adding equation (1) and (2), we get
1 ----- (2) Adding equation (1) and (2), we getx+y = 7
7x−y = 1

8x = 28 = 4
4Substituting the value x in equation (1), we get
4Substituting the value x in equation (1), we get 4 + y = 7
7y = 7 −4
−4y = 3
3Therefore, x = 4 and y = 3
3 Hence, the two numbers are 4 and 3.
