Question

the sum of two numbers is 46 and their difference is 4, find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=25 y=21

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y are the required number

ATQ

x+y=46

x-y=4

then by substitution method we have

y=46-x

putting y jn another equation

we got

x-(46-x)=4

x-46+x=4

2x=50

x=25

and then

y=46-x

y=46-25

y=21

Answer 2

Answer:

let the biggest number be x

second number be y

= x+y=46

=x-y=4

by estimation method (adding 1 and 2)

=x+y=46

x-y=4

=2x=50

=x=50/2

=x=25

x-y=4

-y=4-25

-y=21

y=21

therefore x=25 and y=21

the biggest number = x = 25

second number = y = 21
