Question

The sum of two numbers is 22 & their difference is 4. The numbers are

Answer 1

Let first number be x

second number be y

So, according to question

x+y=22--------1

x-y=4-----------2

Adding equation 1 and 2 we get

⇒2x=26

⇒ x=13  

⇒ Put in 1

13+y=22

⇒y=9

You can also do it

By using elimination /substitution/cross multiplication method

x=13 and y=9

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :-

sum of the numbers is 22

and their differences is 4

FIND :-

find the numbers

Now ,

let 1st number is x

and 2nd number is y

A/c the question

$x + y = 22 \: \: ...........(i) \\ x - y = 4 \: \: \: \ ...........(ii)$

after adding the equation

(i) and (ii)

$=> \: 2x = 26$

$=> x = 13$

now , the value of x put in equation (i)

$x + y = 22 \\ 13 + y = 22$

$=> y = 22 - 13 \\ => y = 9$

hence the numbers are 13 and 9 .
