Answer 2

$\text{Sum of the numbers = 340}$

$\pink{\boxed{x + y = 340\:(1)}}$

$\text{Difference of the numbers = 60}$

$\pink{\boxed{x - y = 60\:(2)}}$

$\text{Putting the two equation,we get}$

$\begin{aligned}</p><p></p><p>x + y & = 340 \\</p><p></p><p>x - y & = 60</p><p></p><p>\end{aligned}$

$2x = 400$

$x = 200$

$\text{Putting the value in equation (1),we get}</p><p>$

$\Rightarrow 200 + y = 340$

$\Rightarrow y = 140$

$\mathfrak{Hence\:the\:value\:of\:x\:is\:200\:and\:y\:is\:140.}$
