Group of answer choices

x + y = 140
y – x = 32

y – x = 140
x + y = 32

x + y = 140
x – y = 32

x – y = 140
x + y = 32

12 ejrid the rude

Answer 2

third option

Explanation:

the sum of x and y is 140 , that is

x + y = 140

the difference between x and y is 32 ( y is smaller ) , then

x - y = 32

the system to solve for x and y is

x + y = 140

x - y = 32
