Answer:

  • The two numbers are 8 and 6.

Given:

  • Sum of two numbers is 4.
  • Their difference is 2.

Need To FIND:

  • The two numbers = ?

Explanation:

LET the two numbers be x and y.

x + y = 14 ………. (i)

x - y = 2 ………. (ii)

ADDING EQUATION (i) and (ii),

We get:

➠ 2x = 16

➠ 2x/2 = 16/2

➠ x = 16/2

➠ x = 8

Substituting the value x in equation (i), We get:

➠ 8 + y = 14

➠ 8 – 8 + y = 14 - 8

➠ y = 14 - 8

➠ y = 6

Therefore:

➠ x = 8 and y = 6

  • Hence, the two numbers are 8 and 6.
