Y = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer :-

Let the numbers be x and y -

According to the question :-

• Sum of x and y = 60

➩ x + y = 60 - ➀

• Difference of x and y = 4

➩ x - y = 4 - ➁

Solving the two equations by adding the equations -

➢ ➀ + ➁

➩ x + x + y - y = 60 + 4

➩ 2x = 64

➩ x = 64/2

➩ x = 32

Substituting the value of x in equation ➀ :-

➩ x + y = 60

➩ 32 + y = 60

➩ y = 60 - 32

➩ y = 28

Numbers = 32 and 28
