2 and 9​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=11

a-b=5

by adding two equation

2a=16

a=8

b=3

Answer 2

Answer:

Maybe you meant this: the sum of two numbers is 11 and their difference is 5. If so, you would set up a solution in the following way.

Let x = the larger number

Ley y = the smaller number

x + y = 11

x - y = 5

2x = 16

x = 8

x + y = 11

8 + y = 11

-8 = -8

y = 3
