Two numbers total 46 and have a difference of 14. Find the two numbers

X+y=46 x-y=14

x+y=x-y+60 (46 + 14 = 60)

subtract x from both sides (y = - y + 60)

add y to both sides (2y=60)

Divide both sides by 2 and you get that y = 30

x + y = 46

x + 30 = 46 now subtract 30 from both sides

x = 16 y = 30

And the difference between them is 14
