Question

If the sum of 2 numbers is 44 and their difference is 6 find the numbers. The person whose answer will be correct will be marked as brainiest...

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let numbers are X and y

now according to question

x + y = 44 ------------- (I)

and X - y = 6 ------------ (ii)

adding (I) and (ii)

x + y + X - y = 44+6

2 X = 50

x = 25

putting the value of x in equation (I)

25 + y = 44

y = 44+25

y= 19

so the numbers are 19 and 25..

Answer 2

Answer:

sum = 25+19

difference = 25-19

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y = 44 (equation A)

X-Y = 6 (equation B)

X-Y = 6

X= 6+Y

substitute X in the equation A from the revised equation B

X+Y = 44

6+Y+Y = 44

6+2Y = 44

2Y = 44 - 6

2Y= 38

Y = 38/2

Y= 19

substitute Y= 19 and solve for X

X+Y = 44

X+19= 44

X = 44- 19

X = 25
