Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

let s take,

Two numbers = x , y

The sum of two numbers = 16

x + y = 16 eq ( 1 )

The difference of two numbers = 6

x - y = 6

As per given problem,

x + y = 16

x - y = 6

Add them ( -y and +y get cancelled )

2x = 22

x = 22/2

x = 11

SUBSTITUTE IN EQUATION ( 1 ) : -

x + y = 16

11 + y = 16

y = 16 - 11

y = 5

THE TWO NUMBERS = 11 , 5
