Sagot :

Answer:

35 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

35 + 24 = 59

35 - 24 = 11

Answer:

24 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 59

x - y = 11,    then x = y + 11

substitute for x:

y + 11 + y = 59

simplify:

2y + 11 = 59

subtract 11 from each side of the equation:

2y = 48

divide both sides by 2:

y = 24

x = 35
