Question

The sum of a 2 numbers is 9 and the difference is 3 whats the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Numbers are 6 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are a and b. ( a is greater than b ).

 Here,

      Sum of both numbers is 9   ⇒ a + b = 9

      Difference between them is 3  ⇒ a - b = 3

Adding a + b and a - b :

 a + b = 9

 a - b  = 3

 2a     = 6

⇒ 2a = 12

⇒ a = 12 / 2

⇒ a = 6

                Hence,

             a - b = 3

             a - 3 = b

             6 - 3 = b

             3 = b
