The difference of two numbers is 3. their sum is 14. find the two numbers. (show work please)

1 answer:

8 0

Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

13 - (x+2) = 8
subtract 13 from both sides

divide by -1 to get rid of negative
(x+2) = 5
subtract 2 from both sides
x=3
