Question

The sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is 8.Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 8 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is 8

Let x and y be the two numbers,

Sum of 2 numbers is 24

x + y = 24    -----(1)

The difference is 8

x - y = 8     ----(2)

Adding (1) and (2) we get

2x = 32

x = 16

Substituting the value of x in (1)

16 + y = 24

y = 24 -16 = 8

Therefore the 2 numbers are 8 and 16
