Question

The sum of two numbers is 52 and their difference is 2. What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Here is your answer ❤

Let the two numbers be x and y

Given:

$x + y = 52 \\ x - y = 2$

Mark the two equations as 1 and 2.

From 2 we get

$x = 2 + y$

Put this in 1

$y + 2 + y = 52 \\ 2y + 2 = 52 \\ 2y = 50 \\ y = 25$

From here, we get y=25

Putting this again in

$x = y + 2$

we get

$x = 25 + 2 \\ x = 27$

so, the numbers are 25 and 27.

Hope this helps❤

Answer 2

Answer

the two numbers be 27 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

let, the two numbers be x and y

x. + y. = 52. equation 1

x - y = 2. equation 2

on adding equation 1.and 2

x + y + x - y = 54

2x =54

x = 27

x + y = 52

y = 52 - x

y = 52 -27

y = 25
