Question

The difference between 2 numbers is 16 if their sum is 60 find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

If x is the larger number, you can create the equation:

x + (x - 16) = 60

2x - 16 = 60

2x = 76

x = 38

So, the numbers are 38 and 22.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let numbers be x, 16 + x

according to question

sum=(x)+(16+x)

60=2x+16

60-16=2x

44=2x

44/2=x

22=x

so numbers are-

x=22

x+16=22+16=38
