Question

The sum of two numbers is 26 and their difference is 2. Find these two numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer

14 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and x-2

so (x) + (x-2) = 26

= x + x = 26 + 2

2x = 28

therefore x = 28/2 = 14

second  number = x-2 = 14-2 = 12

hence the 2 numbers are 12 and 14
