Question

The sum of two numbers is 70 their difference is 16 find the numbers

Answer 1

Let numbers be x and y.

$x + y = 70........(1)$

$x - y = 16........(2)$

ADD BOTH THE EQUATIONS,

$2x = 86$

$x = 43$

$y = 70 - 43$

$y = 27$

THE NUMBERS ARE 43 AND 27.

Hope it helps u

Answer 2

Answer:

the numbers are 27 and 43

Step-by-step explanation:

difference of two numbers = 16

 Then,

Let the numbers  be : x and ( x+16 )

Since,   Sum of these number = 70

by putting the values x and (x+16)

we can equate the value of x -

x + (x + 16)= 70

2x +16= 70

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x=  27

  Hence,

The numbers are : 27 and 27+16=43
