Question

the sum of two numbers is 52 and thier difference is 2. the numbers are

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y respectively.

now, x+y=52. --------- (1)

and, x-y=2. --------- (2)

now by elimination method,

2x=54

x=27

now put x=27 in eqn (1),

27+y=52

y=52-27

y=25

Answer 2

Answer:

First number will be 27 and the second one will be 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x+y=52;

x-y=2;

Now, sum up both the equation;

x + y + x - y = 52 + 2;

Here y will cancel out and we will get,

2x = 54;

x =54/2;

x =27

Now y will be,

x + y = 52;

27 + y = 52;

y = 52 -27;

y = 25

That's all
