Question 597305
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Yes.


Two numbers differ by 27.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ -\ y\ =\ 27]


Their sum is 99.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ y\ =\ 99]


Giving you the system:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left{x\ -\ y\ =\ 27\cr x\ +\ y\ =\ 99]


Solve the 2X2 system for *[tex \Large (x,y)].  I recommend the Elimination Method to solve this system.
