Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b = 24
a-b = 2
a = (24 + 2) / 2 = 13
b = (24-2)/2 = 11
Answer:
13 is the first number and 11 is the second number
Step-by-step explanation:
first number = x
second number = y
x + y = 24
x - y = 2
Adding the two equations...
2x = 26
x = 13
x + y = 24
13 + y = 24
y = 24 - 13
y = 11
