Answer 1

Answer:x-y = 4

x+y=20

adding both

2x=24

x=12

since

x-y=4

y=x+4

y=12+4

y=16

12 and 16

hope it helps

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of 2 no.s =20

difference is=4

let the 2 no.s be x,y then

x+y=20----A

x-y=4 or ------B

y-x=4 ------C

A+B

2x=24

x=12

A+C

2y=24

y=12

A-B

2y=16

y=8

A-C

2x=16

x=8

so the no.s can be x=12,y=8 or x=8, y=12
