Question

The difference of two numbers is 20. their sum is 14. find the numbers. ( show step by step PLEASE )

Answer 1

Suppose the numbers are a and b

You are given that a-b=20 and a+b=14

So adding these we get,

`a - b + a + b = 20 + 14`

`2a = 34`

`a = 17`
You are given that a-b 20 therefore

`17 - b = 20`

`b = 20 - 17`

`b = 3`
Hope it helps you

Answer 2

So the difference is dividing
So you would have to 20 divided by 14 wich equals 0.7
