Question

what is the some of of the two numbers is 11 and their difference is 5

Answer 1

This is how I am interpreting your question:

Sum of two numbers is 11, Difference of two numbers is 5. What are the numbers.

Let x equal the first number, and y equal the second number. We can write two equations:

x + y = 11

x - y = 5

If we sum both equations (vertically), we get:

(x + x) + (y + -y) = (11 + 5)

This simplifies to 2x = 16, so x = 8.

Now we can plug 8 back into either equation to solve for y:

8 + y = 11

y = 3
