Answer 1

Answer:

Given

• Two number when subtracted = 28
• And when added = 14

Let the numbers be x and y.

To find

• The two number x and y.

Solution

According to question

x - y = 28 equation i)

x + y = 14 equation ii)

Adding equation i) and ii)

(x - y) + (x + y) = 28 + 14

x - y + x + y = 42

2x + y - y = 42

2x =42

x = 42/2

x = 21

By equation i)

x - y = 28

21 - y = 28

- y = 28 - 21

- y = 7

y = -7

So, the two numbers are x = 28 and y = -7.
