Can someone help me solve these word problems? The sum of two numbers is 80 and their difference is 22.
Here is an example: http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/word/numbers/Numbers_Word_Problems.faq.question.44442.html

Hope that helps! Medal?
Sum The sum of two numbers is 80: \[x + y = 80 \] their difference is 22. x-y = 22. What two numbers add 80 and they also subract into 22?
solve the system of equations: x+y=80 x-y=22 solve it and you don't know how, ask
Idk how to do any of it
Thanks for the medal! :D
okay then just try to think what two numbers add up to 80 and when subtracted equal 22
lol No problem
\[x = 51 ; y= 29\] \[51 + 29 = 80\] \[51-29 = 22\]
do you understand it now?
Yes i do thank you
you're welcome
