Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Answer:}$

Given:

• Two numbers whose sum is 17 and their difference is 1

To Find:

• The two given numbers which satisfies the following condition

Solution:

Let the two numbers be x and y

According to the given question

Sum of Two numbers = 17

x + y = 17 ------ ( 1 )

Difference of two numbers = 1

x - y = 1 ------- ( 2 )

Adding equation ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

( x + y ) + ( x - y ) = 17 + 1

2 x = 18

x = 9

Putting value of x in equation ( 1 )

x + y = 17

9 + y = 17

y = 8

Hence the two Required numbers are 8 and 9
