Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers are x and y.

According to the question,

3x + 5y = 71------eq ( 1 ) ( say ) and

5x + 3y = 65-----eq ( 2 )

Now adding eq ( 1 ) + eq ( 2 ), we get

3x + 5y + 5x + 3y = 71 + 65

8x + 8y = 136

8 ( x + y ) = 136

x + y = 136 / 8

x + y = 17-------eq ( 3 ) ( say )

Now subtracting eq ( 1 ) - eq ( 2 ) , we get

3x + 5y - 5x - 3y = 71 - 65

- 2x + 2y = 6

- 2 ( x - y ) = 6

x - y = 6 / - 2

x - y = - 3------eq ( 4 ) ( say )

Now adadding eeq ( 3 ) + eq ( 4 )

x + y + x - y = 17 - 3

2x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7

Substituting " x = 7 " in eq ( 3 ) , we get

7 + y = 17

y = 17 - 7

y = 14

Therefore, the values of x and y are 7 and 14.
