Question

Whats the sum of 100 and the difference of 80

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of 100 and the difference of 80 are

Let the two numbers are x and y.

It has been given that  sum of two numbers is 100. Hence, we have the equation,

x + y = 100 .........(i)

Now, the difference of these two numbers is 80. Thus, second equation is

x - y = 180......(ii)

Add equation (i) and (ii)

x + y + x - y = 100 + 80

2x = 180

Divide both sides by 2

x = 90

Substitute this value in (i)

90 + y = 100

y = 100- 90

y = 10

Therefore, the numbers are 90 and 10.
