Question

The difference of two number is 1. Their sum is 11. Find the numbers

Answer 1

5 and 6

Explanation:

a - first number (the smaller one)

b - second (the larger one)

The difference of two number is 1, so:

b - a = 1 ⇒ b = a + 1

Their sum is 11, so:

a + b = 11

a + (a + 1) = 11

a + a + 1 -1 = 11 -1

2a = 10 ⇒ a = 5

b = a + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6

Answer 2

i think the answer is 6 and 5 because 6+5=11 and 6-5=1
