Answer:
The numbers are 8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the two numbers
x+y = 14
x-y = 2
Add the two equations together
x+y = 14
x-y = 2
--------------
2x +0y = 16
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 16/2
x = 8
Now find y
x+y = 14
8+y =14
Subtract 8 from each side
8+y-8 =14-8
y =6
The numbers are 8 and 6
Answer:
a = c + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
a = b + 12
b = c + 4
Solve for b in the first equation.
a = b + 12
a - 12 = b
Put b as a - 12 in the second equation and solve for a.
a - 12 = c + 4
a = c + 4 + 12
a = c + 16
