Question

The sum of two numbers is 48 and their difference is 16 . Find the numbers
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 32. y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

According to the first given condition

x+y = 48. (1)

According to the second given condition

x-y =16. (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) we get

2y = 32

y = 16

Substituting value of y = 16 in (1) we get

x+16=48

Thus x=32

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the two no.s be x and y .

x+y= 48--------------(1)

x-y=16----------------(2)

subtract eq. 2 from 1

x+y=48

x-y= 16

-. +. -

______

2y =32

y=16

putting this value of y in equation 2

x-16=16

x=32
