Question

The sum of two numbers is 32 and their difference is 22. Find the 2 numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the two numbers be x and y

Accto question= x+y=32(1)

and x-y=22(2)

from equation (1) x=32-y(3)

putting value of x in equation 2

32-y-y=22

32-22=2y

10=2y

y=5

Now putting value of y in equation 3

x=32-5=27

Hence value of two numbers is 27 and 5

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Given,

x + y = 32

x = 32 - y.... (I)

x - y = 22

32 - y - y = 22

- 2y = 22 - 32

y = -10 / - 2

y = 5....(II)

Putting the value of y in equation (I), we have

x = 32 - 5

x = 27

Therefore, the two values are 27 and 5 respectively.

Hope it helps.
