Question

The sum of two numbers is 10 and difference is two. Find the numbers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 & 4

Let the numbers be "x" and "y"

CONCEPT USED = substitution and elimination

ACCORDING TO QUESTION

====> x + y = 10 ---- equation 1

====> x - y = 2 ---- equation 2

ADDING 1 & 2

===> 2x = 12

===> x = 6

Put "x" in equation 1

==> 6 + y = 10

==> y =10 - 6

==> y = 4

ANSWER = 6 & 4

Answer 2

Answer:

First Number = 4

Second Number= 4+2 = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First Number = x

Second Number= x+2

solution:

x + x + 2 = 10

-> 2x = 10 - 2

-> 2x = 8

-> x = 8 / 2

-> x = 4
