Question

the sum of two numbers is 186. the difference between the same numbers is 32. what are the two numbers

Answer 1

77 & 109
because half of 186 is 93 and half of 32 is 16 so for the numbers to be 32 apart and both 16 away from 93

Answer 2

lets first number is x,  so second number is (x+32).
The sum of these numbers is 186 so
x+(x+32)=186
2x+32=186
2x=154
x=77
second number is x+32=77+32=109
Answer: numbers are 77 and 109
