The sum of two numbers is 41. Their difference is 13. What are the two numbers

Question

This is a problem I need to get pls

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find the two numbers that satisfy this equation such that

x + y = 41

x - y = 13

------------------

2x = 54..............We divide 2 such that

x = 27

Then we plug 27 into the equation such that

27 + y = 54.................Subtract 27 to get

y = 14

I hope this helped!
