x + y = 21 w.l.g say x>y, then:
4*y - x = 4
then x = 4*(y - 1), so:
4*(y - 1) + y = 21
5*y - 4 = 21
5*y = 25
y = 5 so then,
x + 5 = 21
x = 16
so the two numbers are 16 and 5.
1. The difference of two numbers are the numbers between them. The difference is found by subtracting the smaller number from the larger. In this case, 2 is subtracted from 3 (3-2) with a difference of 1. 3-2=1
-9 and -3 or 3 and 9
smaller no.14 larger 37
If their difference is 25 then the larger number is the smaller number plus 25. Let the smaller number be x then the larger number is x + 25 → their sum is x + (x + 25) = 81 → 2x = 56 → x = 28 → the two numbers are 28 and 53.

If you are asking how many numbers difference is there between two numbers, then it will be positive. If you are referring to subtraction, if the number you are subtracting from is the larger number, it will be positive. If it is smaller it will be negative. 3 - 2 = 1 (3, the number being subtracted from, is larger, so the answer is positive) 2 - 3 = -1 (2, the number being subtracted from, is smaller, so the answer is negative)

The difference between two numbers is the smaller number subtracted from the larger. This is the absolute value of the first number minus the second number. However, sometimes the term is used for the signed subtraction.

Subtract smaller from larger, divide answer by larger. (L-S)/L
subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

72 plus 19 = 91
The smaller number is 9 . You should certainly be able to handle it from there.
32 - 2n, if n was added to the smaller of the original two. 32 + 2n, if n was added to the larger of the original two.
