That's interesting. Thanks for stopping by.
While you're here, would you like to know what the two numbers are ?
You can calculate them as follows:
x + y = 2
x - y = 26
Add the two equations:
2x = 28
x = 14
Subtract the second original equation from the first one:
2y = -24
y = -12
==============================
Check:
Sum: 14 - 12 = 2
Difference: 14 - (-12) = 26
yay!
26
Find two numbers if their sum is 64 and their difference is 12. The two numbers are
17 and 26
24 + 26 = 50
Do it like this: 12 away from 26 is 14. Half of 14 is 7 so the two numbers are 7 and (7 + 12) ie 19.
The numbers are 26 and 21
26
5 & 21
19 and -7
98 and 72
Find two numbers if their sum is 64 and their difference is 12. The two numbers are
The sum of the numbers is 26. The numbers are 12 and 14.
22 and 26
12 and 24?
51 - 26 = 25; 25/2 = 12.5; 12.5 + 26 = 38.5
The sum of 7 and 19 is 26.
{x+y=51, x-y=26} x=38.5 y=12.5
