Answer:
smaller number = 17, larger number = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the smaller number and y be the larger nuber
x + y = 51 --(1)
y - 17 = x --(2)
Sub (2) into (1)
y - 17 + y = 51
y = 34
Put y = 34 into (2)
34 - 17 = x
x = 17
Ans: smaller number = 17, larger number = 34
Answer:
Let get large number is x and small number as y.
sum of two numbers is 51.(small number + large number = 51)
ie. x +y =51 --------(1)
The smaller number is 17 less than the larger number.
x-y = 17 ------------(2)
(1) +(2);
(x + y ) + (x - y) = 51 +17
2x = 68
x=34
Substituted for (1);
x + y =51
34 + y =51
y= 51 -34
y= 17
