Answer:
23 , -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown two numbers be x & y.
According to the question,
The sum of 2 numbers is 17 .
x + y = 17 ⇒ (1)
Their difference is 29 .
x - y = 29 ⇒ (2)
First let us find the value of x.
(1) + (2)
x + y + ( x - y ) = 17 + 29
x + y + x -y = 46
2x = 46
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 23
And now let us find the values of y.
x + y = 17
23 + y = 17
y = 17 - 23
y = -6
There fore, the two numbers are 23 , (-6)
