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.

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)
72 plus 19 = 91
subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

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 square root of 841
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)
Subtract the smaller from the larger.

You subtract the smaller from the larger. The difference between 11 and 45 is found by adding negative 11 to positive 45 +45 -11 ----. +34
Negative Numbers.
the difference between concentrated and dilute is concentrated is larger while dilute is smaller.
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)
