Question

The difference between the two numbers is 34. The sum of them is 62. What is the lower number?

Answer 1

Let two no. Be x and y

Then

x-y =34. -----1equation
x+y=62. ------2equation
2x=96

x=96/2 =48

Put the value of x in 1

x-y =34

48-34=y

14=y

Answer 2

x-y=34;
x+y=62;

2x=96;
x=48;
so y=48-34=14;
