Question 1154024
if the sum of two numbers is 8 and there difference is 2 what are the two numbers
-------------------
if the sum of two numbers is 8 and {{{cross(there)}}} {{{green(their)}}} difference is 2 what are the two numbers

-------------------
<pre>
Let x+y=8,  x>y

x-y = 2

Add the two equations:
2x = 10
x = 10/2 = 5  -->  5+y=8 --> y = 8-5 = 3

Ans: the numbers are {{{ highlight(5) }}} and {{{highlight(3) }}}
