Answer 2

Answer:

8 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 11 -> 1)

x - y = 5 -> 2)

So:-

2x = 16

x = 8

2y = 6

y = 3

Therefore, the numbers are 8 and 3.

Checking:- 1) x + y = 11

                   = 8 + 3 = 11

                   = 11 = 11

2) x - y = 5  

= 8 - 3 = 5

= 5 = 5

Therefore, both the answers are correct!!!!!!
