    Answer:

    x=16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let:

    > x be one number

    > y be the other number

    system of Equations:

    > x+y=8

    > x-y=24

    Using elimination method the y’s cancel each other out, and we are left with

    2x = 32

    divide by 2 on both sides to get x by itself

    AND

    x=16
