Question

The Difference between two numbers is 22. The sum of the same two numbers is 78. What are the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

50 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=78

x-y=22

to find this, subtract 22 from 78 to get 56

divide 56 by 2 to get 28

y=28

add 22 to 28 to get 50

x=50

to double check add 50 and 28 to get 78

also subtract 28 from 50 to get 22
