Question

If the sum of two numbers is 27 and difference of two numbers is 23 find the numbers?? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let nos be x and y where x is greater than y.

x + y = 27

x - y = 11

Adding these 2 equations,

x + y + x - y = 38

2x = 38

x = 19

Substituting x = 19 in any of the above 2 equations, we get y = 8

Hence the 2 nos are 19 and 8.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x+y = 27------(1)

x-y = 23------(2)

ADDING EQ 1 AND 2

2X = 50

X= 25

25-y=23

y = 2
