Question

Find two numbers who's difference is 10 and 1/6 of whose sum is 11

Answer 1

38 and 28

Explanation:

let the 2 numbers be a and b

(a - b)= 10.................................................1

1/6(a + b) = 11

hence (a + b) = 66...................................2

adding 1 and 2

a -b + a + b = 10 + 66

2a=76

a = 38

b=28
