Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 32 and their difference is 14.

23 and 9 are the two numbers

Explanation:

x = one number
y = other number

x + y = 32 {sum of two numbers is 32
x - y = 14 {difference is 14}

2x = 46 {added the two equations together}
x = 23 {divided both sides by 2}

x + y = 32 {top equation}
23 + y = 32 {substituted 23, in for x, into top equation}
y = 9 {subtracted 23 from both sides}

23 and 9 are the two numbers
