x = 8+y

Substitute it in 1st equation,
8+y+y=42
2y = 34
y = 17

x = 42-17 = 25

So, the two numbers are 25 & 17

What are some words that relate to geometry but are difficult to precisely define?

zysi [14]

These words related to geometry that are quite hard to define precisely are called the point, the line and the plane. They are called as such, not because you can't necessarily define them.
