Question

EXERCISE 6
1 The sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 16. Find the numbers.
.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.ATQ,

x + y = 50 - I

x - y = 16 - II

Adding I and II,

2x = 66

x= 33

Substituting the value of x in I,

33 + y = 50

y = 50 - 33

y= 17

The two numbers are 33 and 17.
