Two numbers have a sum of 102 Their difference is 42 What is the larger of the two numbers?
We will call the two numbers X and Y.
1) X + Y = 102
2) X - Y = 42
3) Rearrange the second equation ---> X = Y + 42 and plug into the first.
4) (Y + 42 ) + Y = 102
5) 2Y + 42 = 102
6) 2Y = 60
7) Y = 30 *
8) Plug into the second equation ---> X - 30 = 42 (so X = 42+ 30)
9) X = 72 *
10) 72 is the answer.
