Question

sum of two numbers is 69 and difference is 17 find the numbers

Answer 1

x+y= 69

x-y= 17

let first number=x

another number=69-x

x(69-x)= 17

x-69+x=13

2x= 13+69

2x= 82

x= 41

so,

the numbers are

41

69-41=28

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are $43,26$.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that sum of two numbers is $69$

Let us assume that first number be $x$ and other number be $y$.

As per the information

$x+y=69$ ---(1)

The difference of two numbers is $17$.

$x-y=17$ ---(2)

Adding both equations,

$2x=86$

$x=43$

Using it in first equation,

$y=69-43$

$y=26$

So the numbers are $43$ and $26$.

These equations can be solved by several methods but as per me, this is most simplest method.
