Answer:

1 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: Define x

Let one of the number be x

STEP 2: Find the other number

The sum is 9

The other number is 9 - x

STEP 3: Find x

The difference is 7

(9 - x) - x = 7

9 - x - x =7

9 - 2x = 7

2x = 9 - 7

2x = 2

x = 1

STEP 4: Find the 2 numbers

one number = x = 1

other number = 9 - x = 9 - 1 = 8

Answer: The two numbers are 1 and 8


Taysia: it is actually 8 and 1
TooFree: There is no difference .. the two numbers are 1 and 8 or 8 and 1. They mean the same.
