the sum of two numbers is 2. if one number is subtracted from the other, their difference is 8. find the numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "X+Y=2
\n" ); document.write( "X-Y=8
\n" ); document.write( "If you subtract X+Y with X-Y, you get 2y, and so that equals 2-8, that is -6.
\n" ); document.write( "2y=-6
\n" ); document.write( "y=(-6)/2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3
\n" ); document.write( "-3+X=2
\n" ); document.write( "x=2+3
\n" ); document.write( "x=5 and y=-8
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "-3+5=2
\n" ); document.write( "5-(-3)=8
\n" ); document.write( "WE DID IT! Hope you get better by practicing over time! \n" ); document.write( "
