Question

Sum and difference of two numbers is 40 and 4 respectively. Ratio of numbers is

Answer 1

Answer:

X=22,y=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. Be x and y.

Therefore according to first condition

X+y=40

According to second condition

X-y=4

Now with simultaneous equation we can solve it

X+y=40

-x+y=-4

____________

0+2y=36

2y=36

Y=36/2

Y=18

Now put y in x+y=40

We get x+18=40

X=40-18

X=22

Please give as brainliest answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

let first number be X and second be y

A.T.Q

X+y=40 first equation

x-y=4 second equation

by using elimination method ,we get

X=22

y=18

therefore , ratio is

X/y=22/18
