let the first number be x...
let the second number be y...
the sum of numbers = 16
x + y = 8.............eq 1
according to question...
x + y = 8 ( x - y )
x + y = 8x - 8y
8 = 8 ( x - y )
1 = x - y..........eq 2
____________
x + y = 8
x - y = 1
---------------
2x = 7
x = 7/2
put value of x in the eq 1...
x + y = 8
7/2 + y = 8
7 + y = 16
y = 9
therefore...x = 7/2 and y = 9...
hope!!...it helps uhh...❣️✌️
