Question

The sum of two numbers is 25. Their difference is 3. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: let the two numbers be x and y

X+y = 25

X=25-y

Now there will be two cases

Case 1

X>y

X-y =3

25-y-y = 3

-2y= -22

y = 11

x = 14

Case2

Y>x

y-x = 3

y -25 + y =3

2y = 28

y = 14

x= 11

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:hence answer is y=11;x=14
