Answer:
x=40 and y= 60
Step-by-step explanation:
step:1
Let 'x' and 'y' are two numbers
given data the sum of two numbers is 100
x+y = 100......(1)
Given difference of two numbers are
x - y = -20 ......(2)
Step :2
solving the equation (1) and (2)
adding the equations (1) and (2)
x+y+x-y=100-20
cancelling 'y' terms are
2 x = 80
dividing "2" on both sides, we get
x = 40
Step :3
substitute x = 40 in equation (1)
x + y =100
40 + y = 100
subtracting "40" on both sides, we get
40 + y - 40 = 100 -40
y = 60
Final answer:-
The two numbers are x = 40 and y= 60
