Suppose the two numbers are x and y.

Then x + y = 58 and x - y = 16

The second equation gives x = 16 + y

Substituting this value of x into the first equation gives

(16 + y) + y = 58

or 2y + 16 = 58 or 2y = 42 which gives y = 21.

Then x = 16 + y gives x = 16 + 21 = 37

So the soln is x = 37, y = 21

What is the difference between exponential functions and logarithmic functions?

Exponential and logarithmic functions are different in so far as each is interchangeable with the other depending on how the numbers in a problem are expressed. It is simple to translate exponential equations into logarithmic functions with the aid of certain principles.


What equals a sum of 7 and a difference of 1?

To find two numbers that equal a sum of 7 and a difference of 1, let’s denote the numbers as ( x ) and ( y ). From the information given, we can set up the equations: ( x + y = 7 ) and ( x - y = 1 ). Solving these equations, we find that ( x = 4 ) and ( y = 3 ). Thus, the two numbers are 4 and 3.

The difference of two numbers is 10. Their sum is 14. What are the two numbers?

Let the two numbers be ( x ) and ( y ). From the information given, we can set up the equations: ( x - y = 10 ) and ( x + y = 14 ). Solving these equations, we find that ( x = 12 ) and ( y = 2 ). Thus, the two numbers are 12 and 2.


The sum of two numbers is 50 their difference is 10 What is the number?

You can experiment with different numbers (trial-and-error). You can also write this as simultaneous equations: a + b = 50 (the sum of the two numbers is 50) a - b = 10 (the difference is 10) There are several approaches to simultaneous equations; in this case, it is easy to solve by adding the two equations together: a + b + a - b = 60 2a = 60 a = 30 So, the first number is 30. You can get the second number by replacing in any of the original equations.


The sum of two numbers is 92 their difference is 20 find the numbers?

Let the two numbers be m and n From the information given, we have two equation in two unknowns. We can solve this system using substitution. Here are the two equations. m+n=92 m-n=20 Now to use substitution, we must rewrite the second equation as m=n+20 and substitute it into the first n+n+20=92 or 2n=72 which tells us n=36 that means m=92-36 or 56. So the numbers are 36 and 56. Let's check 36+56=92 56-36=20


What sum of two numbers is 8 and their difference is 12 Find the numbers?

Let X be one number and Y the other. So, X + Y = 8 and X - Y = 12 Solve the set of equations simultaneously or use substitution method. X + Y = 8 X - Y = 12 (ADD THIS EQUATION TO FIRST ONE) _______________ 2X = 20, So X =10 and solving for Y using either equation, Y = -2
