Question

The sum of two numbers is 84. The difference of the two numbers is 8.

Answer 1

44, 38

Explanation:

To solve this, we can take the number 84, and subtract 8 from it.

• 84 - 8 = 76

Now that we know this, we can divide this number by 2.

• 76 ÷ 2 = 38

Taking 38, we can add 8 to it to get the value of the second number.

• 38 + 8 = 46

Therefore, the two numbers are 44 and 36.
