Question

The sum of two numbers is 53 and their differences is 25 .fnid the number.

Answer 1

let x represent one of the numbers and y the other number. Set up two equations to solve:

 

Equation 1, sum of the numbers:

 

x  +  y   =  53

 

Equation 2, difference of the numbers:

 

x  -  y  = 25

 

System of equations:

 

x  +  y  =  53

x  -  y   =  25

----------------

2x = 78

 

x = 39

 

Solve for y:

 

39  +  y  = 53

 

y  =  14

 

The numbers are 39 and 14.

 

You can check the numbers by substituting into the second equation.

Answer 2

Hope it helps....!!!!

______________

Let x represent one of the numbers and y the other number. Set up two equations to solve:

 
Equation 1, sum of the numbers:

 
x  +  y   =  53----------(1)

 
Equation 2, difference of the numbers:

 
x  -  y  = 25------------(2)

 
System of equations:

 
x  +  y  =  53---------(1)

x  -  y   =  25----------(2)

----------------

2x = 78

 x = 39

 
Solve for y:

 
39  +  y  = 53

 y  =  14

 

The numbers are 39 and 14.
