Answer:
30 and 22
Explanation:
This can be solved using system of equations
Let x = the bigger number
Let y = the smaller number
The sum of two numbers is 52
x + y = 52
The difference is 8
x - y = 8
x + y = 52
x - y = 8
I will solve using elimination
(x + y = 52)
+ (x - y = 8)
-----------------------
2x = 60
/2 /2
x = 30
x + y = 52
30 + y = 52
-30 -30
y = 22
