Question

what is two number that sum to 14 and a difference of 6

can someone explain to me i still dont understand.

Answer 1

Answer:

10 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This isn't always the way to go but heres what I did:

I added 10 and 14 to get 20 then divided by two to get 10.

Then I subtracted 10 from 14 to get 4.

10 + 4 = 14

10 - 4 = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the numbers be x and y so the sum will be:

x + y =14------equation A

And their difference:

x _ y= 6------equation B

Adding equation A and B we get, so

x+y=14

x_y=6

y and y cancel, so

2x =20

Dividing both sides by 2, so

x=10

Now for y putting value of x in equation A,

x+y=14

10+y=14

Subtracting 10 on both sides, so

y=14_10=4

So

10+4=14

And

10_4=6
