Question

The sum of two numbers is 63 and the difference is 5. What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Numbers are 29 and 34

Explanation:

Let x = one number

let y = second number

x + y = 63

x - y = 5

substitution method, x = 5 + y

5 + y + y = 63

2y + 5 = 63

2y = 58

y = 29

Find value of x: x - 29 = 5

x = 34
