Answer:

Let first number = x

Let second number = y

x+y = 14

x-y = 2

Add the system of equations.

2x = 16

x= 8

Substitute into equation 1.

x+y=14

8+y=14

y=6

Check the solutions by using equation 2.

x-y=2

8-6=2

2=2

★ Given :

Let the two numbers be a

Second number be b

Hence equation will be a + b = 16 & a - b = 2

★ To find :

The numbers

★ Method :

By substituting numbers,

2a = 16

a = 16 ÷ 2

a = 8

× × ×

a + b = 14

8 + b = 14

b = 14 - 8

b = 6

× × ×

★ Answer :

a + b = 14

8 + 6 = 14

a - b = 2

8 - 6 = 2
