Question

The sum of two numbers is 50 and the difference is 4

Answer 1

Explanation:

x + y = 50

x - y = 4

x = y + 4

let's use that as substitute in the first equation

y + 4 + y = 50

2y = 46

y = 46/2 = 23

=>

x = y + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27

the 2 numbers are 23 and 27.

Answer 2

Explanation:

let the 2 numbers be x and x + 4 as their deference is 4.

their sum = 50

now,

→ x + x + 4 = 50

→ 2x + 4 = 50

→ 2x = 50 - 4 = 46

→ x = 46/2 = 23

therefore two numbers are,

x = 23

x + 4 = 23 + 4 = 27

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may u have a great day ahead!
