​

Answer 1

Answer:

numbers are 5 and 3

Step-by-step explaination:

let the numbers be x and y.

x+y=8

x+y=4(x-y)

8=4(x-y)

x-y=2

2x=10

x=5

y=8-5

y=3

Answer 2

Answer:

x+y=8-----Equation-1

According to the question

x-y=2---------Equation-2

x=2+y

From Equation-1

2+y+y=8

2+2y=8

2y=8-2

2y=6

y=6/2=3

Then x=2+y

We know y=3,now substitute it in the equation

x=2+3=5

The two numbers are5,3.
