Let the smallest number be x, and the larger number be y. So we have:
7x + 2y = 155
8x - y = 3
7x + 2y) = 155
2(8x - y) = 2(3)
7x + 2y = 155
16x - 2y = 6
(7x + 2y) + (16x - 2y) = 155 + 6
7x + 16x + 2y - 2y = 155 + 6
23x = 161
23x/23 = 161/23
x = 7
8x - y = 3
8(7) - y = 3
56 - y = 3
56 - 3 - y + y = 3 - 3 + y
53 = y
Thus, the number are 7 and 53.

12 and 28
To find the larger number, we can add the difference of 12 to the smaller number of 17. This gives us 17 + 12 = 29. Therefore, the larger number is 29.
The positive difference between two numbers is the result of subtracting the smaller number from the larger number. This calculation yields a positive value, regardless of the order in which the numbers are subtracted. For example, the positive difference between 8 and 3 is 5, as 8 - 3 = 5.
Subtract smaller from larger, divide answer by larger. (L-S)/L
If you are asking how many numbers difference is there between two numbers, then it will be positive. If you are referring to subtraction, if the number you are subtracting from is the larger number, it will be positive. If it is smaller it will be negative. 3 - 2 = 1 (3, the number being subtracted from, is larger, so the answer is positive) 2 - 3 = -1 (2, the number being subtracted from, is smaller, so the answer is negative)
subtract the smaller number from the larger number.
12 and 28
1. The difference of two numbers are the numbers between them. The difference is found by subtracting the smaller number from the larger. In this case, 2 is subtracted from 3 (3-2) with a difference of 1. 3-2=1
The difference between 13 and 16 is 3. To find the difference between two numbers subtract the larger number by the smaller number. (16-13=3)
To find the larger number, we can add the difference of 12 to the smaller number of 17. This gives us 17 + 12 = 29. Therefore, the larger number is 29.
Subtract the smaller from the larger.
The positive difference between two numbers is the result of subtracting the smaller number from the larger number. This calculation yields a positive value, regardless of the order in which the numbers are subtracted. For example, the positive difference between 8 and 3 is 5, as 8 - 3 = 5.

Negative Numbers.
the difference between concentrated and dilute is concentrated is larger while dilute is smaller.
