Firstly, the correct question is— x+y =14, x- y= 4 ( it will be 4, not 14)
Answer
From equation 1–
x+y= 14
x= 14-y
Substituting x= 14- y in equation 2–
x- y = 4
14-y -y = 4
14 - 2y = 4
-2y= 4 - 14
-2y = -10
y = -10/ -2
= -5
Putting y=5 in equation 2–
x - 5 = 4
x= y + 4
x = 5+4
x=9
Hence, x = 9 And
y= 5
