So first what you want to do is take 98 and subtract it by 48. Which gives us 50. Now what we do is that since we are finding two numbers we would have to divide that by half, which would give us 25. Both of them are now equal. To find the number that makes that difference, we need to add 48 to one of the 25 values. Which would be 73. Meaning that the two numbers are 73 and 25. They both add up to 98 and 73 has a difference of 48 from 25.
If you would like to win the tug of war game, you would have to apply a more greater force to win. If Team B needed to win, over 40 lbs. of force would do.
