Question

the sum of two numbers is 67 their difference is 15. find the numbers.

Answer 1

hi

let first no. be a
second be b

according to question,

a+b=67......(1)
a-b=15...... (2)

by equation 1 and 2

2a = 82
a= 41

b ===>
a+b = 67
41+b =67
b= 67-41
b= 26

numbers are 41 and 26

hope u get ur answer :-)

Answer 2

Let the numbers be x and y

Now , from the data :-

x+y=67---------------1
x-y=15(if x>y)---------------2

Adding the two equations we will get,

2x=82
x=41

Substituting the value of x in equation 2 :-

x-y=15
41-y=15
41=y+15
y=41-15
y=26

Answer:- x=41, y=26. The two numbers are 41 and 26
