Answer:
The numbers are 75,68
Explanation:
Let the number be a ,b
The sum of two numbers is 143
⇒ x + y = 143 -------------(I)
Their difference is 7
⇒ x - y = 7 --------------(II)
Add the equation (I) & (II) and thus y will be eliminated and we can find the value of x
(I) x + y = 143
(II) x - y = 7 {Now add}
2x = 150
x = 150 ÷ 2
x = 75
Substitue x = 75 in equaion (I)
75 + y =143
y = 143 - 75
y = 68
