of 19.​


Sagot :

Answer:

27 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number

and y be the smaller number

the sum => x+y=35

the difference => x-y=19

find the value of y.

y=35-x

substitution:

x-(35-x)=19

distributive property=> x-35+x=19

combining like terms=> x+x=19+35

simplifying=> 2x=54

divide both sides by 2;

2x/2=54/2

x=27

substitute the value of x to any equation to find the value of y.

27+y=35

y=35-27

y=8
