Answer:
[tex]x + y = 24[/tex]
[tex]x - y = 4[/tex]
Now, add these two equations.
You get,
[tex]2x = 28[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{28}{2} [/tex]
[tex]x = 14[/tex]
Given,
[tex]x + y = 24[/tex]
[tex]14 + y = 24[/tex]
[tex]y = 24 - 14[/tex]
[tex]y = 10[/tex]
You can test this to the other equation as well.
[tex]x - y = 4[/tex]
[tex]14 - 10 = 4[/tex]
Hence, the two numbers are 14 and 10.
