Answer: 42 and 31

Explanation:

Let x be one number and y be the other.

We will write mathematical equations for these two numbers.

The sum of 2 numbers is 73.

x + y = 73

Their difference is 11.

x - y = 11

See attached for the graph.

The point of intersection is our solution.

The sum of 2 numbers is 73, and their difference is 11. Find the numbers.-example-1
