Question

The sum of two numbers is 2 and their difference is 1. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x and y.

As per given condition :-

x + y = 2 ................(1)

x - y = 1
-------------------
2x = 3 (by adding both the equation)

x = 3/2

Putting this value on eqn (1)

3/2 + Y = 2

Y = 2 - 3/2

Y = (4-3)/2

Y = 1/2.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

HELLO USER ✌

HERE'S YOUR ANSWER FRIEND,

LET THE TWO NUMBERS BE X AND Y.

THEREFORE,

ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN THE QUESTION

WE HAVE

FIRST CASE : X + Y = 2...............(1)

SECOND CASE : X - Y = 1 ..........(2)

==> THEREFORE, ON SOLVING ABOVE EQUATIONS WE HAVE,

BY ELIMINATION METHOD,

X + Y = 2
X - Y = 1

==> 2X = 3

==> X = 3/2 ..............................(3)

AND ON SUBSTITUTING (3) IN (2) WE HAVE,

==> X - Y = 1

==> 3/2 - Y = 1

==> -Y = 1 - 3/2

==> -Y = -1/2

==> Y = 1/2

THUS, THE TWO NUMBERS ARE 1/2 AND 3/2

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
