if sum of two positive integer is 108 and diffrence of the number is 8 then find the number
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Decrease (mentally) the greater number by 8, leaving the other number unchanged.

You will get two equal numbers whose sum is 100.

Hence, the modified numbers are equal to 50 each.

Then the greater number was 58.

Solved.
