Find two numbers whose sum is 34 and

whose difference is 10.

Short answer

The two numbers who sum is 34 and difference is 10 are 22 and 12.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Write down the concept.

Let the two numbers be x and y

Then the given problem can be written as,

x + y = 34 ……..(1)

x - y = 10 ……...(2)

adding (1) and (2), we get,

2x = 44

x = 22

substituting x =22 in (1) we get,

y = 12
