Step-by-step explanation:
let x and y be the no.
given
x+y=15 -------1 x-y=7----------2
add both eqaution
x+y+x-y=15+7
y gets cancled
2x=22
x=11
put x=11 in eqaution 1
x+y=15
11+y=15
y=4
therefore x=11 and y= 4

Given
we have given that sum of two numbers is 15 and their difference is 7.
To find
we have to find the numbers
Since, we don't know the numbers let us assume some Variable for numbers
let the numbers be x and y
According to the question:
x+y= 15[ sum]----------(1)
x-y= 7[difference]-----(2)
Add Equation 1 and 2
=> x+y + x- y = 15+7
=> 2x= 22
=> x= 22÷2
=>x= 11
Now,find y
x+y= 15
=>11+y= 15
=> y= 15-11= 4
y= 4
Check:
sum of two numbers is 15: 11+4= 15
difference is 7: 11-4= 7
