Answer 2

Answer :

The numbers are 6 and 4.

• Greater one = 6
• Smaller one = 4

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the two numbers be x and y

  x - greater number

  y - smaller number

• the sum of two numbers is 10

                   x + y = 10 ----(1)

• the difference of two numbers is 2

                   x - y = 2 ---- (2)

From equations (1) and (2) ,

          Add both the equations,

            x + y + x - y = 10 + 2

                      2x = 12

                        x = 12/2

                         x = 6

=> x - y = 2

    6 - y = 2

    y = 6 - 2

     y = 4

The greater number = 6

The smaller one = 4
