Question

The sum of two numbers is 2 10 365. If one of them is 1 02 858, find their difference.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer: ±4649

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers, let’s call them x and y.

From the question, we are told that:

x+y = 210,365

one of the numbers, let’s say x, = 102,858

From 1. we have:

102858+y=210365⇒y=210365−102858=107507

The difference of the numbers is either x - y or y - x

y−x=107507−102858=4649

x−y=−1×(y−x)=−4649

We have two numbers, let’s call them x and y.

x−y=−1×(y−x)=−4649
