Question

two numbers differ by 5. if their sum
is19 then find the two
numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers required are 12 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the numbers be x and y where x > y.

Equation (i)

                  x - y = 5

Equation (ii)

                 x + y = 19

Equation (i) +  Equation (ii) gives

      2x = 24

        x = 12

Substituting x = 12 in Equation (ii)

     12 + y = 19

            y = 7

∵ x = 12 and y = 7

∴ The two numbers required are 12 and 17.
