Question

The sum of the 2numbers are 36 and difference is 8 what are the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers are x and y

therefore, according to the question

x+y = 36

and ,

x-y = 8

by elimination method,

x+y=36

x-y = 08

-_+__-____

2y = 24

y = 12

putting the value of y = 12 in any of the equation

x+y = 36

x+12= 36

therefore = x= 36-12

x= 24

therefore, numbers are = 24,and 12

you ,can use any of the method

hope this is helpful ✨

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number be x and y

x+y=36 ----(1)

x-y=8-----(2)

2x=44

x=22

put the value of x in (1)

x+y=36

22+y=36

y=36-22

y=14
