Answer:

x=24\frac{3}{4}\\ y=24\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

So we have:

x +y = 49\\x-y=\frac{1}{2}

using the elimination method, add the two equations together:

2x=49\frac{1}{2} \\2x=\frac{99}{2}

solve for x:

x=\frac{99}{4}\\x=24\frac{3}{4}

substitute our value for x back into the first equation we made:

x+y=49\\(\frac{99}{4}) + y=49\\y=49-\frac{99}{4}\\y=\frac{97}{4} \\ y=24\frac{1}{4}

therefore,

x=24\frac{3}{4}\\ y=24\frac{1}{4}
