Answer:

The two numbers are 18.375 and 13.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sum of two numbers is 31.5 and their difference is 5.25

we have to find the two numbers.

Let the two numbers are x and y.

As sum of two numbers is 31.5 and difference is 5.25

∴ x+y=31.5   →   (1)

x-y=5.25   →   (2)

Adding eq (1) and (2), we get

2x=31.5+5.25=36.75

x=\frac{36.75}{2}=18.375

(2) ⇒ 18.375-y=5.25 ⇒ y=13.125

Hence, the two numbers are 18.375 and 13.125
