Question

Find two numbers whose sum is 36and whose difference is 10

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 23 and y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y' respectively.

∴ x + y = 36 --(1)

& x - y = 10  --(2)

Subtracting both euqation 1 and 2 we get,

2x = 46

∴x = 23

Substituting the value of x in equation 1,

23 + y = 36

y = 36 - 23

∴y = 13
