Answer:
The numbers are 53 and 47.
Step-by-step explanation:
You didn't write out the problem completely, but this may be the problem:
The sum of two numbers is 100. The difference of the two numbers is 6. What are the numbers?
Let the numbers be x and y.
The sum of two numbers is 100.
x + y = 100
The difference of the two numbers is 6.
x - y = 6
We have a system of two equations in two variables.
x + y = 100
x - y = 6
Add the equations.
2x = 106
x = 53
Now substitute 53 for x in the first equation and solve for y.
53 + y = 100
Subtract 53 from both sides.
y = 47
The numbers are 53 and 47.
