x-y=2
2. The sum of two numbers is 54, and their difference is nine more than the smaller number. What are the two numbers?
. x+y=54 x-y=x-9
. x+y=54 y-x=x+9
. 2x=54 54=xt9
. 2y=54 54=x-9 Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let one number be x
other number be y
x>y
x+y =54................(1)
x-y =y+9
x-2y=9......................(2)
subtract (2) from (1)
3y=45
/3
y = 15
so x = 39
