Question

The sum of two numbers is 12 and their difference is 2. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be a and b.

According to question,

a + b = 12

a - b = 2

On adding both the Equations,

2a = 14

=> a = 14/2

=> a = 7

=> b = 12 -7

=> b = 5

So, the two numbers are 7 and 5.
