Call the unknown numbers s and l for smaller and larger respectively. From the problem statement, l - s = 14 and 4s - 3l = 45. Transpose the first equation to result in

l = 14 + s and substitute this into the second equation to result in 4s - 3(14 + s) =45, or 4s - 42 - 3s = 45. or s = 45 + 42 = 87. l is then 101.

Which two numbers sum to 81 and their difference is 25?

If their difference is 25 then the larger number is the smaller number plus 25. Let the smaller number be x then the larger number is x + 25 → their sum is x + (x + 25) = 81 → 2x = 56 → x = 28 → the two numbers are 28 and 53.

The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40?

The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40. From this statement, we can calculate the values of the numbers where you get the value of the larger number to be 24 and that of the smaller number to be 4.


Is the difference of two positive numbers positive or negative?

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)
