Answer: yes , it is possible
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and the second number be y .Then , the sum of the two numbers will be x + y , and their difference will be x - y.
Combining the two , we have :
x + y = 1 ............................... equation 1
x - y = 8 ................................. equation 2
solving the system of linear equation by substitution method. From equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula ,
x = 1 - y ...................... equation 3
Substitute equation 3 into equation 2 ,
1 - y - y = 8
1 - 2y = 8
add 2y to both sides
1 = 8 + 2y
subtract 8 from both sides
1 - 8 = 2y
- 7 = 2y
divide through by 2
y = 
y = - 3.5
substitute y = -3.5 into equation 3 to find the value of x , we have
x = 1 - y
x = 1 - ( - 3.5 )
x = 1 + 3.5
x = 4.5
Let us check :
x + y will be
4.5 + (-3.5) = 1
Also ,
x - y will be
4.5 - (-3.5)
⇒ 4.5 + 3.5 = 8

Answer:
9 ft, 28 ft, 26 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of side lengths, so ...
P = a + b + c
63 = n +(4n -8) +(2n +8) . . . . fill in the given side lengths
63 = 7n . . . . . . simplify
9 = n . . . . . . . . divide by 7
4n -8 = 36 -8 = 28 . . . . second side length
2n +8 = 18 +8 = 26 . . . . third side length
The side lengths are 9 ft, 28 ft, 26 ft..
