Question

can someone please hlep with math

Answer 1

Answer:

large # - 21; small # - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the numbers you can use x and y as variables

x + y = 32

x - y = 10

x is the larger number while y is the smaller

you can use elimination and add them to get rid of y and find x

2x = 42

x is 21

then plug it into an equation for y

21 + y = 32

y = 11

the point also works for the bottom equation so it is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Larger number is 21

Smaller number is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x is the larger number and y is the smaller number

1) x+y=32

2) x-y=10

3) x=10+y

Substitute x in the first equation using the third equation

10+y+y=32

10+2y=32

2y=22

y=11

x=32-11=21
