Difference 27431

The sum of 2 numbers, x, and y, is 80, and their difference is 16. Determine the numbers x and y.

Correct answer:

x =  48
y =  32

Step-by-step explanation:


x+y=80
x-y=16

x+y = 80
x-y = 16

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
x+y = 80
-2y = -64


y = -64/-2 = 32
x = 80-y = 80-32 = 48

x = 48
y = 32
