Answer 2

Answer:

a. the smaller no. is 143

b. the greater no. is 167

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no.s be x and y

The sum is

=> x+y= 310 --------1

and the difference is

=> x-y = 24 ---------2

By using elimination method we get

2x= 334

x= 167

Now putting the value of x in equation 1

so, we get

167+y= 310

y= 310 -167

y= 143
