Two numbers total 39 and have a difference of 11. find the two numbers.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

   25, 14

Discussion:

Let the first number be "m" and the second number "n". Then

m + n = 39

m - n =  11

Adding these equations gives:

(m+n) + (m-n) = 39 +11  =>

(m+m) + (n-n) = 39 + 11 =>

2m  = 50 =>

m = 25

Substituting this value in m+n = 39, gives 25 + n = 39, so n = 39-25 = 14

Thank you,

MrB

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
