Question

The sum of two numbers is 80. If the difference between the same two numbers is 8, find the two numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the First no. be x and second no. be x +8

now,

sum of the two no. is 80

therefore x + ( x+8) =80

= 2x + 8 = 80

= 2x = 80-8

x = 72 /2

=36

so x is equal to 36

Now the two no. are 36 and 44

Hope this helps
