Question

Find two numbers with a sum of 14 and a
difference of 1

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 and 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equations:

x + y = 14

x - y = 1

By elimination method

Adding the two equations would yield:

2x = 15

x = 7.5

Substituting x = 7.5 in any of the original equations, we would find the value of y which is 6.5.
