Answer:
The numbers are 6 and 3
Explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
So their sum is x + y =9 (EQ. 1)
Their difference is x - y = -3 (EQ. 2)
Solve simultaneously using subtract method.
x-x=0, x is eliminated. y- -y = +2y since -x- is +.
so it is now 2y = 9- - 3:. 2y= 12; dividing both sides by 2. Y=6.
Substitute Y=6 in EQ 1 to find x.
So x + 6=9;. x=9-6 is achieved by collecting like terms. so x=3.
:. Y=6 and x=3. The numbers are 6 and 3
I think I was able to expantiate it well.
