Question

The sum of the two numbers is 16 and their difference is 12

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x and y.

x + y = 16

x _ y = 12

By substitution method,

x_y=12

x=12+y

substituting the values

x+y=16

12+y+y=16

12+2y=16

2y=16_14

y=2

Now, putting the value of y in equation..

x+y=16

x+2=16

x=16_2

x=14

therefore the two numbers are 14 and 2.
