Question

the sum of two numbers is 137 and their difference is 43 find the numbers

Answer 1

let the number be x
x+x-43=137
2x=137+43=180
2x = 180
x= 180÷2
x=90
x = 90-43
x=47
the numbers are 90 and 47

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is

first number $=90$ and Second number $=47$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sum of the two numbers is $37$ and the difference is $43$.

To find the numbers.

Step 1

Let us consider,

first number $=x$ and

Second number $=y$

$x+y=137...........(1)$

$x-y=43..............(2)$

Step 2

Adding both the equation, we get

$2x=180$

or $x=90$

On subtracting $(2)$ from $(1)$, we get

$2y=94$

then $y=47$

Therefore, we get

First number $=90$ and Second number $=47$.
