Answer 1

Answer:

the gap between 2 numbers is 8

8+8=16

Answer 2

Answer:

x=12 and y =4

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x

the other number=y

then

sum=

x+y=16

difference=

x-y=8

equating 1 and 2

x+y=16

x-y=8

-------------------

2x=24

x=12

puttingthe value of x in equation 1 we get

x+y=16

y=4
