Answer:

The numbers are 49 and 55

Explanation:

The sum of two numbers 104

x+y = 104

their difference 6

x-y = 6

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

x+y = 104

x-y = 6

------------------

2x = 110

Divide by 2

2x/2 =110/2

x = 55

x+y = 104

55+y =104

Subtract 55 from each side

55-55+y = 104-55

y =49
