The sum of two numbers is 69 and their difference is 17. what are the two numbers?

26 and 43

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the two numbers is 17, so we can set the two numbers as x and x+17. We also know that the sum of the two numbers are 69, so we can set up the equation x + (x+17) = 69.

x + (x+17) = 69

2x+17=69

2x=52

x=26.

If x=26, then the other number would be x+17, which is 43, so the two numbers are 26 and 43.
