Question

The sum of two numbers is 8. If their difference is one fourth of their
sum, find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 5

y is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

here one number be x

other number be y

x+y = 8

x - y = 1/4(x+y)

hence

x - y = 1/4× 8

x-y = 2

now

x+y= 8

x-y=. 2

• solving by addition
• we get 2x equals 10
• hence x is 5
• substituting in x+y
• we get y equals 3
