Question

If sum of two natural numbers is 40 and their difference is 10 l, What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

15 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Define x:

Let one number be x

The other number is 40 - x

Solve x:

The difference is 10

x - (40 - x) = 10

x - 40 + x = 10

2x - 40 = 10

2x =  50

x = 25

Find the numbers:

one number = x = 25

other number = 40 - x = 40 - 25 = 15

Answer: The numbers are 15 and 25
