the sum of two numbers is 31 and their difference is 7 what are the two numbers?

32 answers

Let x = one number and x+7 the other.

x + x + 7 = 31

Solve for x, then x+7.
a = first number

b = second number

You have conditions:

a + b = 31 and a - b = 7

Add the two equations together to eliminate b from the system.

a + b = 31
+
a - b = 7
________

a + a + b + ( - b ) = 31 + 7

2 a + b - b = 38

2 a + 0 = 38

2 a = 38 Divide both sides by 2

a = 38 / 2 = 19

a - b = 7

19 - b = 7 Add b to both sides

19 - b + b = 7 + b

19 = 7 + b Subtract 7 to both sides

19 - 7 = 7 + b - 7

12 = b

b = 12

Proof:

a + b = 19 + 12 = 31

a - b = 19 - 12 = 7
