Question

the sum of 2 numbers is 17 and the diffrence is 3

Answer 1

Answer:

the number are 10 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be X and y

now its given in question that their sum is 17 . so equation becomes

X+y=17

then the difference is 3 .so other equation becomes

x-y=3

now we will substitute the value of y

x-y=3

X=3+y

now we will see the first equation and put the value of X that came in above solution.

X+y=17

3+y+y=17

3+2y=17

2y=14

y=7

now we got the value of y that is 7 so the value of X can be taken out by subtracting 7 from 17 i.e 10

hope it helps u:)
