Question

If the sum of two number is 100 and the bigger number is 28 more than the smaller number,find the two number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the largest number be = x

smallest number be=y

A/Q

x+y=100. (1)

x=y+28

x-y=28. (2)

By elimination method

x+y=100

x-y=28

_______

2x=128

________

2x=128

x=128/2

x=64

Now,put the value of x in equation 1

x+y=100

64+y=100

y=100-64

y=36

So,the largest number is 64 and smallest number is 36
