Question

The sum of two numbers is 61 and the difference between the same two numbers is 25. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 61........(1)

x - y = 25..........(2)

Adding (1) and (2)

2x = 86

x = 86/2

x = 43

And x + y = 61...(1)

43 + y = 61

y = 61 - 43

y = 18

The number are 43 and 18
