Question

The sum of two numbers is 16. the difference between their sum and their difference is 14. Find
the numbers.​

Answer 1

x + y = 16

x - y = 14 add the equations

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

2x = 30

x = 15

x + y = 16

15 + y = 16

y = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

15 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

ATQ :

x+y=16 ..(1)

and

x-y = 14 ....(2)

so adding 1 and 2 we get

x = 15

now putting the value of x in either (1) or (2)

we get the value of y=1

therefore the numbers are 15 , 1
