Question

Find two numbers whose sum is sixty eight and whose difference is twenty two

Answer 1

Answer:

45 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

If you will add it, the result will be 68

and if you will subtract it, the result will be 22

Answer 2

Answer:

45 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the first number and y equal the second number.

We can set the following equations up with our information:

$x+y=68$

$x-y=22$

Adding the two equations together, we get:

$2x=90$

Dividing by two, we receive $x=45$

We can plug this into our first equation to get $45+y=68$.

Subtracting 45 from both sides, we get $y=23$.
