Question

Two numbers have a sum of 1195 and a difference of 505?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 850 and y = 345

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 1195

x - y = 505

Add the two equations

2x + 0y = 1700

2x = 1700

x = 850

Sub x = 850 into the first equation:

850 + y = 1195

y = 345

Thus, x = 850 and y = 345
