Brainl plus 100 pointsthe difference between two numbers is 84 and their sum is 278. what are the numbers? hint( answer is x=181 and y= 97). also note that this is simultaneous equations and show full woking out

x = 181 and y = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

let called the first number is x

the second number would be called y

We are given that:

x + y = 278 (1)

x = y + 84 (2)

Let change x in (2) into (1):

y + 84 + y = 278

2y + 84 = 278

Subtract 84 from both side, we got:

2y + 84 - 84 = 278 - 84

2y + 0 = 194

Divide both side by 2, we got:

2y / 2 = 194 / 2

y = 97

Because y = 97 and x + y = 278 so x would equal:

x + 97 = 278

Subtract 97 from both side, we got:

x + 97 - 97 = 278 - 97

x + 0 = 181

x = 181 and y = 97

Hope this helped :3

can you put the picture up?
