The sum of two number is 55 and their difference
is 11, find the numbers.
Answers
Hello friend,
Let, the two numbers be x and y.
According to the question,
x + y = 55 ----------------(i) and
x - y = 11 ------------------(ii)
Adding equation (i) and (ii)
(x + y) + (x - y) = 55 + 11
2x = 66
x = 33 ans.
Putting the value of x in eqn (i)
x + y = 55
33 + y = 55
y = 55 - 33
y = 22 ans.
Hence, the required numbers are 33 and 22.
Hope this helps ✌✌✌
-------------------------------
let two no. be x and y.
according to question,
==>x +y= 55 -----------------1
==>x-y=11 -------------------2
using substituion method,
==> x=11+y
substitute the value of x in eq. 1 , we get
===> 11 + y + y = 55
===> 11 + 2y =55
===> 2y = 44
===> y= 22
substitue the value of y in eq. 2 , we get
====>x + 22 =55
===> x= 55-22
===>x=33
Therefore, values of x and y is 22 and 33 respectively.
hope this will help u..............
