Two numbers have a sum of 67 the difference is 9 what are the two numbers?

Answer 1

First start with 33 + 34 = 67. These have a difference of 1.

Now add 4 to 34 and subtract 4 from 33 to get 29 and 38.

Now 29 + 38 = 67 and 38 - 29 = 9.

Alternative method: 67 - 9 = 58, half of 58 is 29 which is the lower number so 38 is the larger.
