Question

The sum of two numbers is 150 and its difference is 6 then find the

greatest number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Greater number is 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

According to the question,

X+y=150

X-y=6

Adding both equations

2x= 156

X= 156/2 = 78

X+y= 150

So y = 150-78

y = 72

Answer 2

Let the x be the greatest number

and y be the smallest number

According to first condition

x+y=150----1

According to second condition

x-6=y

x-y=6---2

Adding the equations 1&2

x=156
