Question

If the difference of two numbers be subtracted from their sum, the result is 104
Find the smaller number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

suppose,

x is the greater number and y is the smaller number..

{x-y }- {x+y} =104

x-y-x-y =104

-2y = 104

y=104/-2

y=- 52

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the greater no. be x,

the smaller no.be y

A/q

(x+y)-(x-y)=104

x+y-x+y=104

2y=104

y=104/2=52

Smaller no.=y=52
