Question

Q # 8 please solve the question

Answer 1

For this case we have the following system of equations:
x + y = 20
x-y = 14
Where,
x: real number
y: real number
Solving the system we have:
x = 17
y = 3
Therefore, the numbers are:
17 and 3
Answer:
17 and 3
option 1

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be x and y

Their sum is 20, so we can write
x + y = 20

Their difference is 14, so we can write:
x- y = 14


Adding the two equations, we get:

2x = 34
x = 17

Using the value of x, in first equation, we get:

17 + y = 20
so,
y = 3

Thus the two numbers are 17 and 3.

So, option a is the correct answer
