Question

What are those two numbers whose sum is 58 and difference is 287

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the 2 nos. be x and y

Therefore, x + y = 58, x - y = 287

x + y = 58

x - y = 287

Adding both the equations

2x = 345

X = 172.5

Substituting x in the below equation

x - y = 287

172.5 - y = 287

-y = 287-172.5

-y = 114.5

y = - 114.5

Therefore, the 2 nos. are 172.5 and 114.5
