Question

two numbers add to 336 and the first is 124 bigger than the second. What are the two Numbers?

Answer 1

let us say, the numbers are "a" and "b"

so their sum is 336, or 
a + b = 336

and the first one is bigger than the second by 124
so... whatever "b" is, "a" is THAT plus 124, or

a = b + 124
thus one can say

a + b = 336
or
(b + 124) +b = 33

solve for "b"

what is "a"? well, a = b + 124

Answer 2

The numbers are 230 and 106.

What is algebra?

Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.

let us consider the numbers be x and y.

so

x + y = 336..................(1)

First number = second number +124

x=y+124

x-y=124...............................(2)

Add (1) and (2), we get

2x= 460

x= 230

and,

y= 336-230

y= 106

Hence, the numbers are 230 and 106.
