Answer:
8 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the 2 numbers with x > y, then
x - y = 5 → (1)
x + y = 11 → (2)
Add the 2 equations together term by term to eliminate y
2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 8
Substitute x = 8 into (2)
8 + y = 11 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
y = 3
The 2 numbers are 8 and 3
Answer:
x=8 ; y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
suppose,
one of the number is x
other one is y ; x>y
according to the question,
x-y =5........(1)
x+y=11.........(2)
(2)+(1)=>
x+y+x-y=11+5
2x=16
x=8 [divided by 2 on both side]
then,
(2)-(1)=>
x+y-x+y=11-5
2y=6
y=3 [divided by 2 on both side]
