Question

two numbers sum up to 29 and their difference is 3. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

$Sum = 29 \\ \\ difference = 3 \\ \\ smaller \: number = \frac{sum - difference}{2} \\ \\ bigger \: number = \frac{sum + difference}{2}$

$smaller \: number = \frac{29 - 3}{2} = \frac{26}{2} = 13 \\ \\ bigger \: number = \frac{29 + 3}{2} = \frac{32}{2} = 16$

Answer 2

$\huge{\mathfrak {ANSWER}}$ .... ❤️

Let the first number be x.

Then, second number will be ( 29 - x ).

Their difference, = 3

x - ( 29 - x ) = 3

x - 29 + x = 3

2x = 3 + 29 = 32

x = 32 / 2 = 16

So, the first number is 16.

Second number = 29 - 16 = 13
