Question

The sum of 2 numbers is 83 thier difference is 45 what are the two numbers

Answer 1

64 and 19

=============

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations.

Let's represent the two numbers as x and y.

From the given information, we have the following equations:

• x + y = 83
• x - y = 45

We can use the method of elimination to solve this system of equations.

Adding the two equations together, we get:

• 2x = 128

Solving for x, we find:

• x = 64

Substituting the value of x back into one of the original equations, we can solve for y:

• 64 + y = 83
• y = 19

Therefore, the two numbers are 64 and 19.
