Question

Find two numbers whose sum is 50 and whose difference is 24.

Answer 1

x + y = 50

x - y = 24

x - y = 24

x = 24 + y

x + y = 50

24 + y + y = 50

24 + 2y = 50

2y = 26

y = 13

x + y = 50

x + 13 = 50

x= 37

37+13=50

37-13= 24

Answer 2

Explanation:

a/q

sum of two numbers whose sum is 50 and difference is 24

so,

we got the expression

x + 24 + x = 50

2x + 24 = 50

2x = 50 - 24 = 26

x = 26/2 = 13

so,

13 + 24 = 37

also

13 + 37 = 50

therefore, two numbers are 13 and 37

Hope this answer helps you dear!
