Two numbers add to 436 and the front is 134 bigger than the second. What are the two numbers?

Take away 134 from the total, so that both numbers are of equal value:

436 - 134 = 302

Divide by 2 to find the smaller number:

302 : 2 = 151

Add back the 134 to find the bigger number:

151 + 134 = 285

Answer: The two numbers are 151 and 285

Lets say x is the smaller number and y is the bigger number.

x + y = 436

x + 134 = y

We can substitute the second equation into the first (substitute x + 134 in for y)

x + (x+134) = 436

2x + 134 = 436

2x = 302

x = 151

We can now plug this back into either formula (i use the second)

151 + 134 = b

b = 285

The 2 numbers are 151 and 285
