Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 5 and their difference is 30

Answer 1

17.5 and -12.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

The 2 numbers are -12.5 and 17.5.

Explanation:

Let 1 number be x then x - y = 30 where the other number is y.

y = x - 30 so the sum is:

x - 30 + x = 5

2x = 35

x = 17.5

and y = 17.5 - 30 = -12.5.
