Summary: The sum of two numbers is 46 and their difference is 20. What are the two numbers? Answer: 33 and 13
Answer:
x = 33
y = 13
okay….
Step-by-step explanation:
let the numbers be x and y
given :
x + y = 46
x – y = 20
by adding both equations
=》x + y + x – y = 46 + 20
=》2x = 66
=》x = 66 / 2
=》x = 33
by putting the Value of x in 1st equation
=》x + y = 46
=》33 + y = 46
=》 y = 46 – 33
=》 y = 13
