Answer 2

Answer:

• The required values are 6 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y. Now, We have to follow the question's statement. First of all, we have to form equations according to the question's statement.

• x + y = 9
• x - y = 3

Solve the question by elimination method.

• x + y = 9
• x - y = 3

_______________

• 2y = 6
• y = 6/2
• y = 3

Put the value of y in equation 1.

• x + y = 9
• x + 3 = 9
• x = 9 - 3
• x = 6

Therefore, the required values are 6 and 3.
