The sum of two numbers is 137 and their difference is 43. Find the numbers.

Let the two numbers be x and y.


According to question -


x + y = 137.....(1)


x - y = 43.....(2)


Adding equations (1) and (2) , we get -


2x = 180


x = 90


substituting the value of x in equation (2), we get -


y = 90 - 43 = 47


Thus, the numbers are 90 and 47.
