Question

The sun and difference of two numbers is 22 and 2 respectively.find the number

Answer 1

Answer: 12 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be A and B

A+B = 22

A-B = 2

Add the 2 equations

A+B+A-B = 22+2

2A = 24

A= 12

And A+B = 22

So B= 22-12 = 10

Therefore the numbers are 12 and 10

Answer 2

let the number x and y

ATQ
x+y=22 .1
x-y=2 .2
by elimination method
2x=24
x= 12
put in eq 1
12+y =22
y=22-12
y=10

hence x=12 y=10
