Answer 2

For this one, you have to play around with different numbers until you find 2 numbers that add up to 50 and when you substract them, you get a difference of 18.

Answer 3

is this algebra?
give the unknown numbers names: people use x and y a lot
the sum of x and y is 50.
write that as

x+y= 50
the difference is 18. Assume that x is the bigger number. then
x-y= 18

Answer 4

you have 2 equations and 2 unknowns
x+y=50
x-y=18

I would add the two equations together. that means add the left sides
and add the right sides. put an = sign in between
