Question

) Sum of the two numbers is 35 and their difference is 13. find the smaller number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let first number = X

let second number = y

their sum = 35

X + y = 35 (1st equation)

and their difference = 13

X - Y = 13 ( 2nd equation)

subtract 2nd equation from 1st equation

=

X + y = 35

X - Y = 13

2x = 48

X = 48/2

X = 24.

put the value of X in 1st equation

X + Y = 35

24 + y = 35

y = 35 - 24

Y = 11
