Answer:
let the numbers x and y
so x + y =13
x - y = 5
add two equations together
2x = 18
divide both side by 2
x = 9
sub in any equation
9 + y =13
y = 4
the numbers are 9 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 9 and y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y =13 ----- ( equation 1)
x - y = 5 ----- ( equation 2)
From equation 1
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y
Substitute this in to equation 2
x - y = 5
( 13 - y) - y = 5
13 - y - y = 5
13 - 2y = 5
- 2y = 5 - 13
- 2y = - 8
divide both sides by -2
- 2y / -2 = - 8 / - 2
y = 4
equate this in to equation 1
x + y = 13
x + 4 = 13
x = 13 - 4
x = 9
