Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

31 and 29 because 31  plus 29 is 60 and 31 minus 29 is 2

What is the completely factored form of x4y – 4x2y – 5y?
Lady_Fox [76]
If you would like to write x^4y - 4x^2y - 5y in a completely factored form, you can do this using the following steps:

x^4y - 4x^2y - 5y = y * (x^4 - 4x^2 - 5) = y * (x^2 + 1) * (x^2 - 5)

The correct result would be <span>y * (x^2 + 1) * (x^2 - 5).</span>
