Question

If the sum of two positive numbers is 108 and the difference is 8,then find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be x and y.

then,

x + y = 108.........i

and x - y = 8 .... ii

on adding i and ii

2x = 116

x = 58

putting x = 58 in i

we get y = 50

so, the numbers are 58 and 50

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the positive numbers be x and y

hence ,

x+y=108

x-y=8

By adding them both,

x+x-y+y=116

2x=116

x=58

hence y= 50
