Question

The difference of two numbers is 29. The sum of the two numbers is 33. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

31,2

Step-by-step explanation:

we can represent the numbers with two variables, x and y.

So the difference of them is 29.

x-y=29

Their sum is 33.

x+y=33

we can find the answer with a system of equations.

$\left \{ {{x-y=29} \atop {x+y=33}} \right.$

x=29+y                    x=31        S{31,2}

y+29+y=33

2y=4

y=2

Answer 2

Answer:

x=31, y=2. (31, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=29

x+y=33

------------

x=y+29

y+29+y=33

2y+29=33

2y=33-29

2y=4

y=4/2

y=2

x-2=29

x=29+2

x=31
