The sum of two numbers is 4. Their difference is 12. What are the two numbers? Write a system of equations for this situation and find its solution. What is 15 more than the smaller of these two numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "
Let the larger number be L, and the smaller, S
\n" );
document.write( "Then we have: L + S = 4 ----- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "Also, L - S = 12 ------------ eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "2L = 16 ----- Adding eqs (ii) & (i)
\n" );
document.write( "L, or larger number = \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+16%2F2%2C+or%2C+8%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "Do you think you can find the smaller number? If so, just add 15 to it to get the answer to part 2.
\n" );
document.write( "It's that simple....nothing COMPLEX!! \n" );
