Question

the sum of the two numbers is 21. The difference is 5. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be "x" and " y"

so,

x + y = 21

and,

x - y = 5

Than,

x + y = 21

y = 21 - x ......1st

Now,.

putting value of y in the equation,

x - y = 5

x - 21 + x = 5

2x = 26

x = 13

Than,

x + y = 21

13 + y = 21

y = 8
