Question

The sum of two numbers is 64,and the second number is 16 less than the first. Find the their numbers
​

Answer 1

Let one number be x and other y

x+y=64

y=x-16

putting value of y in eq. 1

x+x-16=64

2x=80

x=40

y=40-16=24

Answer 2

$\huge\bold\pink{AnswEr}$

Equation 1, total of the two numbers:

x + y = 64

Equation 2, difference between the two numbers:

x = y - 16

Substitute for x in equation 1:

(y - 16) + y = 64

2y -16 = 64

2y = 80

y = 40

Solve for x:

x = y - 16

x = 40 - 16

$\huge\bold\green{x=24}$

The two numbers are 24 and 40...
