Answer:
35, 48
Explanation:
We don't know the numbers. Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number can be x+13.
"The sum" means we are adding the numbers.
x + x + 13 = 83
Combine like terms.
2x + 13 = 83
Subtract 13
2x = 70
Divide by 2
x = 35
One of the numbers is 35. The other is:
x + 13
= 35 + 13
= 48
The numbers are 35 and 48.
check:
48 is 13 more than 35 and,
35 + 48 is 83.
