Question

The sum of two numbers is 4 the difference of the two numbers is 10 What is the value of each number

Answer 1

Answer: 3 and 7 are the numbers

Explanation:  seeing that this is elementary math we won't use variables

use guess and check because the sum is so small  

10/2=5

5+5 doesn't work, 5-5=0

4+6 doesn't work because 6-4=2

3+7 works because 7+3=10 and 7-3=4

3 and 7 are the numbers
