Question

The sum of two numbers is 19 . When the second number is subtracted from the first​ number, the difference is 17 . Find the two numbers.

What are the two​ numbers?

Answer 1

19 and 2

Explanation:

Let x represent the first number and y represents second number

x + y = 19

x - y = 17 add two equations up

2x = 36 divide both sides by 2

x = 19 and since the difference is 17 the other number is 2
