ANSWER AND EXPLAINTION⏬⏬

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 25 and their difference is 9. What are the two numbers? Let's start by calling the two numbers we are looking for x and y.

The sum of x and y is 25. In other words, x plus y equals 25 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 25

The difference between x and y is 9. In other words, x minus y equals 9 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = 9

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x - y = 9

x = 9 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 25

9 + y + y = 25

9 + 2y = 25

2y = 16

y = 8
