Answer:
17 and 12
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=29
x-y=5
2x=34
x=34/2
x=17
17+y=29
29-17=y
12=y
17-y=5
17-5=y
12=y
Answer:
17 & 12.
Explanation:
It takes more time to add each number separately until you find it, so many look to using x & y to help.
Remember:
Sum = 29
x + y = 29
Difference = 5
x - y = 5
Let's divide by 2 for each equation, to find the answer.
29 + 5 / 2 = 17
29 - 5 / 2 = 12
And there you go!
P.S I had to get some online help for this one, but I learned how to do it now too. :)
