Two numbers have a sum of 40 the difference is 10 what are the two numbers?

Answer 1

2 Numbers are a and b. We have( a>b)

a+b=40(1)

and a-b=10(2)

a=10+b( from 2. Subtracts both side by b)

=> 10+b+b=40 (from 1. Substitute a with 10+b)

=> 10+2b =40

=> 2b =30

=> b =15

=>a=10+15=25

=>

a=25

b=15.
