Question

The sum of two numbers is 85 and their
difference is 27. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Let the numbers be x and y

x + y = 85

x-y = 27

Adding them

2x = 112

X = 56;

Hence y = 29 ( 56-27 = 29)

Answer 2

Answer:

56 and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

According to question,

x + y = 85----(1)

x - y = 27------(2)

Adding equation 1 and 2 , we get

2x = 112

=> x = 56

Y = 29
