Question

the difference between two numbers is 16.if their sum is 60 find the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Two numbers are 38 & 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Given,

x - y = 16  --- (i)

x + y = 60 ---- (ii)

from i, we can say x = 16 + y ------- (iii)

Substituting iii in ii, we get

16 + y + y = 60

2y = 44

y = 22

And we know x = y + 16

Thus, x = 22 + 16 = 38

Thus two numbers are 38 and 22
