The difference between two numbers is 18. If their sum is 86, what are the numbers?
Given :
The difference between two numbers is 18.
Their sum is 86
To find :
We have to find the numbers.
Solution :
Let the numbers be x and y.
This implies,
$x-y=18$
$x = 18+y$
Sum of the numbers = 86
$x+y = 86$
$18+y+y=86$
$2y = 86-18$
$2y = 68$
$y =\frac{68}{2}$
$y = 34$
$x = 18+34$
$x = 52$
The numbers are 52 and 34.
