Question

The sum of the numbers is 30 and
their difference is 16. Then find that two
numbers​

Answer 1

X + y = 30 and X - y = 16. adding both the equations, we get, X = 23 and y = 7. Hence, the smaller number is 7.

Answer 2

Answer:

x=23 y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two no.s be x&y

.

. . x+y=30......equation 1

x-y=16.........equation 2

_______by adding

2x =46

=> x =46/2

=> x=23

so,y=30-23(from equation 1)

=7
