I am thinking of two numbers. Their sum is 1776 and their difference is 1492. What are the numbers?

First number and second number are 1,634 and 142.

Given that;

Difference of two number = 1,492

Sum of two number = 1,776

Find:

The numbers

Computation:

Assume numbers are 'a, b'

So,

a + b = 1776   eq1

a - b = 1492   eq2

Eq 1 - Eq2

2b = 284

b = 142

a + b = 1776

a + 142 = 1776

a = 1,634

1634 and 142

Step-by-step explanation:

y+x=1776

- (y-x=1492)

equals:

2x=284

÷2 ÷2

x=142

y+142=1776

-142 -142

y=1634
