Question

The sum of two numbers is 46. The difference of two numbers is 25.

Answer 1

let the number first number= x and tue second number=y

According to the question

x+y=46 .......(1)

x-y=25 .......(2)

Adding equations (1) and (2) we get

x+y+x-y=46+25

2x=71

x=71/2

x=35.5

Put x=35.5 in the equation (1), we get

35.5+y=46

y=46-35.5

y=10.41

Hence the two number are 35.5 and 10.41
