Answer 1

Answer:

d. 136 ,144

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no, be x &y

given :  x -y =8    and 1/8 (x+y) =35

  x = 8+y                                                       ∴ when y = 136  then  x = 8 + 136

                                                                                                           = 144            

x+y =35 x8

8 +y +y  =280

2y  = 280 - 8

y   = 272 /2

   =136
