Question 469228
Let x is the smaller number
Let y is the larger number
The sum of two numbers is 59, so {{{x+y=59}}}
If you substract the smaller number from the larger number, the answer is 33, so {{{y-x=33}}}
The system of equations:
{{{system(x+y=59,y-x=33)}}}
Add the second equation to the first one
{{{2y=92}}}
{{{y=92/2}}}
{{{y=46}}} - the larger number
{{{x+46=59}}}
{{{x=59-46}}}
{{{x=13}}} - the smaller number
