Question 606705: THE SUM OF TWO NUMBERS IS 29. THEIR DIFFERENCE IS 3. WHAT ARE THE TWO NUMBERS?
PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS ONE.
THANKS Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
Let x be one number and y the other so we can write two equations:
(Hint: "is" in a word problem usually means equals =)
x+y=29
x-y=3
Now we can add these two equations to get:
2x=32
x=16
y=13
Make sense?
