Question

What two Numbers can you add to get 52 and subtract and get 22?

Answer 1

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y=52

x-y=22

Now solve for x and y :)

Answer 2

x + y = 52
x - y = 22

adding both equations:

2x = 74
x = 37

substituting 37 in the first equation in x:

37 + y = 52
y = 15

testing:

37 + 15 = 52

37 - 15 = 22

it works.

so it's 37 and 15.
