Question

The sum of two numbers is 16 and their difference is 8 .Write the given statement in equation form​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first number be x

and the second number be y

Therefore, x+y=16

Second equation is

x-y = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

Sum = x + x = 16

Difference = x - x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x

Their sum is:

x + x = 16

2x = 16

x = 8

Their difference is:

x - x = 8

2x = 8

x = 4
