Question

The sum of two numbers is 50 and their difference is 16. Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=50

x - y =16

2x =66

x =33

33+y =50

y =50-33

y=17

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 33 and Y = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two no. be X and Y

now, according to the question

X+Y = 50.....(1)

X-Y = 16....(2)

by adding 1 and 2 eq.

X + Y + X - Y = 50 + 16

2X = 66

X = 33

NOW , from X-Y =16

33 - Y = 16

-Y = 16 - 33

Y = 17
