The sum of two numbers is 361 and the difference between the two numbers is 173. What are the two numbers?

Sagot :

Divide 361 by 2
180.5
Divide 173 by 2
86.5
180.5+86.5=267
One of the # is 267
361-267=94
The other is 94

The bigger number will be 267 and the smaller number will be 94.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Let the two number be x and y.

And assume that the number x is greater than the number y.

x > y

The sum of two numbers is 361. Then the equation will be

x + y = 361          ...1

The difference between the two numbers is 173. Then the equation will be

x - y = 173         ...2

Add equation 1 and 2, then the equation will be

x + x = 361 + 173

   2x = 534

     x = 534 / 2

     x = 267

Substitute the value of x in equation 1, then the equation will be

267 + y = 361

          y = 361 – 267

          y = 94

The bigger number will be 267 and the smaller number will be 94.
