The difference of two numbers is 4. Their sum is 22. Find the numbers

let the two numbers = x and y

according to the statement : x-y=4

x+y=22

by elimination method: 2x=26

x=13

so... y = 13-4=9

The two numbers (x and y) are 13 and 9 respectively. 13 minus 9 is 4 and 13 plus 9 is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y.

The difference between x and y (x - y) = 4. (eqn 1)

Their sum (x + y) = 22. (eqn 2)

From eqn 1, we can get that x = 4 + y

Substituting x as (4 + y) in eqn 2 gives the following:

(4+y) + y = 22

4 + 2y = 22

and 2y = 22 - 4

2y = 18

dividing both sides by 2 gives y = 9.

Substituting y as 9 in eqn 1 gives

x - 9 = 4

x = 4 + 9

x = 13

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
