Question

The sum of two numbers is 116 and their difference is 18. Find the larger number.

Answer 1

67

Explanation:

let larger number be x and the other be y.

x - y = 18

x = 18+y

now, x + y = 116

therefore, 18+y+y= 116

18 + 2y =116

2y = 116-18

2y = 98

y = 98/2 = 49

larger number = 49 + 18 = 67
