Question

The sum of two numbers is 36 and their difference is 9.Find the twonumbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the one no. be x and other be y

therefore

x + y = 36 ------- 1 eq

x - y = 9

________

2x = 45

x = 45/ 2

= 22.5

y = 36 - 22.5

• y = 13.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

according to the question

x + y = 36 equation 1

x - y = 9 equation 2

adding above equations

2x = 45

x = 45/2

= 22.5

x = 22.5

putting value of x in equation 1

22.5 + y = 36

y = 36 - 22.5

y = 13.5

hence the two numbers are 22.5 and 13.5
