Question

The sum of two numbers is 802, and the difference of the 2 numbers is

438. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

x = 620

y = 182

Explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 802

x + y = 802

The difference of two numbers is 438

x - y = 438

x + y = 802

x - y = 438 Add

2x = 1240 Divide by 2

x = 1240/2

x = 620

x + y = 802

620 + y = 802 Subtract 620 from both sides

y = 802 - 620

y = 182
