Question

sum 13 their difference is 5

Answer 1

This is the solution to this answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The two numbers will be 9 and 4.

Solution:

Let us assume that the two numbers be x and y

given that, the sum of x and y be 13

Thus,

x + y = 13

and, their difference is 5, hence,

x - y = 5

Solving these two equations, we get,

2x = 18

x = 9

Substituting the value of x = 9 in equation (1), we get,

9 + y = 13

y = 13 - 9

y = 4

Hence, the two numbers be 9 and 4.
