Question

Let the two numbers be x and y.

x + y = 14 ………. (i)

x - y = 2 ………. (ii)

Adding equation (i) and (ii), we get

x + y = 14

+ x - y = 2

2x = ____

Dividing both sides by 2

x = 16/2

x =____

Substituting the value x in equation (i), we get

8 + y = 14

y = 14 -____

y = _____

Hence, the two numbers are 6 and 8.​
