Answer:
Let a be the larger and b be the smaller. We know that
a
+
b
=
14
and
a
−
b
=
6
.
Solving the 2nd equation for a,
a
=
6
+
b
.
Substituting that expression for a in for the a in the first equation, and then solving for b,
6
+
b
+
b
=
14
2
⋅
b
=
14
−
6
=
8
b
=
8
2
=
4
Therefore
a
=
6
+
4
=
10
.
I hope this helps,
