Let the numbers be x&y

by the condition given in the question we get two equations

when x > y
x+y=137 ... 1

x-y=43 ... 2

by adding 1&2 we get

2x=180

x=90

y=47

when y > x

we get

y-x=43 ... 3

by adding 1&3 we get

2y=180

y=90

x=47

so numbers are 90 and 47

HI !

let the no:s be "a" and "b"

given,

a + b = 137               ------> (1)

a - b = 43                 ----------> (2)

Adding (1) and (2) , we get :-

2a = 180

a = 90

a + b = 137

b = 137 - 90
   = 47

The no:s are 90 and 47
