Question

the sum of two number is 215 and their difference in 53 find the number

Answer 1

x = 134, y= 81

You have

x + y = 215

x - y = 53

You can use elimination or substitution for these equations;

If you add the two equations above y is eliminated and you can solve for x

In the second equation

x - y = 53

x = 53 + y

If you substitute 53 + y in to the first equation you can solve it for y.

I hope this helps if you have any questions send me a message.
