Answer 1

Answer:

32,+8

I think is this brainliest

Answer 2

24,16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be X and another y.

GIVEN: x+y=40 (equation 1......)

x-y=8 (equation 2....)

NOW SOLVE EQUATION 2 FOR x TO GET REVISED EQUATION 2: x-y=8

x=8+y

Then substitute x in equation 1 from revised equation 2 and then solve for y.

x+y=40

8+y+y=40

8+2y=40

2y=40-8=32

y=16

Therefore y for 16 in equation 1 and solve for X:

x+y=40

X+16=40

X=40-16=24

PROOF:SUM=24+16=40

DIFFERENCE=24-16=8
