Question

The difference between two numbers is 18. If their sum is 86, what are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers by x and y.

As per the question

x - y = 18    

x + y = 86  

From the first equation, x = 18 + y.  

Put this in the second equation to get:  

18 + y + y = 86  

2y = 68  

y = 34  

Now, put this value of y in any of the two equations to get x, which is 52.  

therefore, x=52 y=34
