It's when we break a number apart. Like as if we take 3,864. And we take each number and put it in a area of the number.
3=Thousands.
8=Hundreds.
6=Tens.
4=Ones.
Fairly simple and easy.
Answer: x = 23 and y = 13
Explanation:
let x and y be the two number.
Where:
(x + y)/2 = 18 => x + y = 18 x 2 = 36
and:
x - y = 10
Thus we get:
x + y = 36 (1)
x - y = 10 (2)
Add (1) and (2):
x + y + x - y = 36 + 10
2x = 46
x = 23
If x = 23
then x - y = 10
23 - y = 10
-y = -13
y = 13
