Answer 1

The two numbers are 85/4 and 83/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

as per question,

x + y = 49 ------(1)

x - y = 1/2 ------(2)

By solving the above equations

we get,

$2x = 42 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{84 + 1}{2} = \frac{85}{2} \\2x = \frac{85}{2} \\ x = \frac{85}{4}$

put the value of x in equation (2)

we get,

$\frac{85}{2} - y = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{85}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{85 -2}{4} = \frac{83}{4}$
