Answer 1

two numbers: \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm x }\) & \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm y }\)

The sum of two numbers is 78: \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm x+y=78 }\)

their difference is 14: \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm x-y=14 }\)

Answer 2

So you just need to solve the system:

\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm x+y=78 }\)
\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm x-y=14 }\)
