Answer:

x=40 and y= 60

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>step:1</u>

Let 'x' and 'y' are two numbers

given data the sum of two numbers is 100

x+y = 100......(1)

Given difference of two numbers are

x - y = -20 ......(2)

<u>Step :2</u>

solving the equation (1) and (2)

adding the equations (1) and (2)

x+y+x-y=100-20

cancelling 'y' terms are

2 x = 80

dividing "2" on both sides, we get

x = 40

<u>Step :3</u>

substitute x = 40 in equation (1)

x + y =100

40 + y = 100

subtracting "40" on both sides, we get

40 + y - 40 = 100 -40

y = 60

Final answer:-

The two numbers are x = 40 and y= 60

The product of two number is 1575 and their quotient is 9/2 find the number
Otrada [13]
(1) p x q = 1575
(2) p / q = 9 / 2
divide 1 by 2 to eliminate p:
q^2 = 1575 / (9/2)
q^2 = 350
q = sqrt(350)

Substitue q in either 1 or 2 to find p.
