Question

Sum of two numbers is 26their different is 2 . what is the number

Answer 1

Answer:

a+b = 26

=) a = 26 - b : equation 1

a - b = 2 : equation 2

substitute 1 in 2

=26 - b - b = 2

= 24 = 2 b

so b = 12

a+b = 26

a + 12 = 26

therefore a = 14

Answer 2

Answer:

$sum = x + y = 26 ---- > (i)$

$from(ii)$

$difference = x-y =2 --->(ii)$

$x = 2 + y ---->(iii)$

$by \: putting \: the \: value \: of \: x \: from$

$(iii) \: to \: (i)$

$(2 + y) + y = 26$

$2 + 2y =26$

$2y = 26 - 2$

$2y = 24$

$y = \frac{24}{2}$

$y = 12$

$x = 2 + y$

$x = 2 + 12$

$x = 14$
