Question

The sum of two numbers is 19 and there differnce is 5

Answer 1

x = 12 , y = 7

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

Sum of the numbers, x + y = 19 -------- ( 1 )

Difference of the number , x - y = 5 -------- ( 2)

( 1 ) + ( 2 ) => 2x = 24

x = 12

Substitute : x in ( 2 ) => 12 - y = 5

=> 12 - 5 = y

=> 7 = y
