Answer 19

I'm thinking... hold up..
we are given that the sum of two numbers is 26
x + y = 26
and the difference is 12
difference is like subtraction so maybe
if we let y = -12
x-12=26
then solve for x..

Answer 20

blah wrong sign

Answer 21

x+12=26
now solve for x

Answer 22

14

Answer 23

14 IS THE ANSWER ?

Answer 24

yeah so the sum of 2 numbers going to 26 is
14+12 = 26
the difference is 12 means that we need to subtract 12 on both sides to get the other number

Answer 25

BUT THAT IS NOT CHOICE

Answer 26

14 IS NOT THE ANSWER

Answer 27

hmm what are the choices? can you list them out?

Answer 28

7
15

QUICKLY REPLY

Answer 30

ok let's try this

x+y = 26
x-y=12

2x=38
x = 19

Answer 31

ARE YOU SURE ITS 19 ?

Answer 32

seems like there was another equation that we needed to construct -_-

19 + y = 26
y = 7
. I got 19+ 7 = 26
19-7 is the difference of 12
x = 19 and y = 7.. those are the numbers... I'm hoping you can choose those 2

Answer 33

HOW DID U GET 19

Answer 34

NVM THX

Answer 35

FAN AND MEDAL ME

Answer 36

I misread the difference is 12 part

that's actually another equation x - y =12
so we are supposed to have 2 equations
x+y=26
x-y=12
using elimination method we had 2x = 38 and dividing 2 on both sides gives x = 19
and then plug x = 19 back into
19-y=12
to solve for y which was
-y=-7
y = 7
since the question was asking for the larger number, it's 19

Answer 37

YA I KNOW
