Answer :
The two natural numbers are 48 and 42.
Step-by-step explanation :
Let the two natural numbers be x and y
The larger number = x
The smaller number = y
- Sum of two numbers = 90
x + y = 90
x = 90 - y
- Difference between the two numbers = 6
x - y = 6 ---[ 1 ]
Substitute x = 90 - y in equation [1]
x - y = 6
90 - y - y = 6
90 - 2y = 6
2y = 90 - 6
2y = 84
y = 84/2
y = 42
⇒ x = 90 - y
= 90 - 42
= 48
Therefore,
the larger number = 48
the smaller number = 42
Verification :
- The two numbers are 48 and 42.
SUM :
x + y = 90
48 + 42 = 90
90 = 90
DIFFERENCE :
x - y = 6
48 - 42 = 6
6 = 6
Hence verified!
