Question

sum of 2 natural numbers is 10 and their difference is 4. find the numbers plzz answer step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

7 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

let the required number be x and y

A.T.Q,

sum of x and y is 10

that is,

x+y=10 .......(i)

And

difference of x and y is 4

that is,

x-y= 4 ........(ii)

now,

adding (i) and (ii) we get,

x+y=10

+x-y=4

here y gets cancelled as +y from (i) is subtracted by -y from (ii).

that is,

2x=14

x=14/2

x=7

now, y= 10-7 (because from i x+y=10 and we found that x=7)

that is,

y= 3

hence, the two numbers are 7 and 3.
