Let one number be x and other is y.
According to the question:-
Their difference = 5
Their sum = 19
x - y = 5
x + y = 19
_____________
2x = 24
From the elimination method.
y will be cancelled, then, add x and x which gives 2x and
5 + 19 gives 24,
Now we have,
2x = 24
x =
x = 12 is the answer.
Now put x = 12 in x - y = 5
12 - y = 5
- y = 5 - 12
- y = -7
y = 7
Answer:
