Question

the sum of two numbers is 20 and their difference is 8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers are a, b

given

a+b=20

a-b=8

2a=28

a=14

b=6

Answer 2

Answer:

Let, one number be x

Therefore,

the other number = 20 - x

A/Q,

x - (20-x) = 8

=> x - 20 + x = 8

=> 2x - 20 = 8

=> 2x = 8 + 20

=> 2x = 28

=> x = 28/2

=> x = 14

Therefore,

The required numbers are---

14 and (20-14) =6
