Answer:

This question is not as hard as it seems.

Let the first number = x.

The other number will be x - 16.

The sum of both the number is 52.

So, x+x-16 = 52

Which would simplify to 2x -16 = 52.

When I add 16 to both sides, it would give me 2x = 68.

Then, divide both sides by 2.

This leaves us with x = 34.

Since we have x, now x-16 would be 34-16 = 18.

The two numbers are 34 and 18, this answer is correct because both of them add up to give me 52.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
