Answer:  

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876

The two numbers: X = 7.777   Y = -2.099

Step-by-step explanation: solve by elimination

X + Y = 5.678

X - Y = 9.876 . Add the two equations so the y cancels. Solve for x

2x = 15.554 .  Divide both sides by 2

X = 7.777    Substitute in the original equations to find Y

7.777 + y = 5.678 . Subtract 7.777 from both sides

Y = - 2.099

check in the second equation:

7.777 -(-2.099) = 9.876

7.777 + 2.099 = 9.876 <u>True</u>
