Question

if the sum of two natural numbers is 40 and their difference is 10 which are the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

For this part of the problem you would need to think of two numbers whose difference is 10. for instance, 20 - 10 = 10, Another possibility is 52 - 42 = 10. Since we are looking for two number that work with BOTH parts of the question, the correct answer is 25 and 15.

Answer 2

x + y = 40

x - y = 10

________

2x = 50

x = 25

x- y = 10

25 - y = 10

-y = 10-25

-y = -15

y=15
