The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39      ⇒x=39/2=19.5

  x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
   2y=9    ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

postnew [5]

Answer:

1 in. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution: A Rectangle ABDE in which DE=4 inches and BD= 6 inches

 There are two kinds of rotations

1. one along the Breadth, side having length 6 inches,i.e rotated along line GH,  Cylinder Z is created.

Radius of cylinder Z=6/2= 3 inches

2. Second along the Length, Side having length 4 inches,i.e rotated about a line CF, cylinder Y is created.

Radius of cylinder Y= 4/2= 2 inches

Difference in Radii= Radius of cylinder Z  -  Radius of cylinder Y

                              =  3 - 2= 1 inches

Diagram shown below of both the cases:
