Given:

  1. Sum of 2 numbers = 26
  2. Difference of 2 numbers = 2

To find:

  • The value of 2 numbers

Method:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y respectively

x + y = 26      →→→ (Equation 1)

x - y = 2         →→→ (Equation 2)

Adding Equation 1 and 2,

                x + y = 26

    [+]         x - y = 2  

                    2x = 28

2x = 28

⇒ x = 28 ÷ 2

x = 14

Now let's substitute value of x in any one of the equations

Here we have substituted in Equation 2

x - y = 2

⇒ 14 - y = 2

⇒ y = 14 - 2

y = 12

∴ The 2 numbers are 14 and 12
