D.First Number is 40 and second number is 160
We Gonna -45 -5
In we Gonna + the 125
c) the first number is 85, the second number is 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
let:
first number= x
second number=y
(equation 1) x+y = 125 and;
(equation 2) x-y= 45
let us get equation 2 values in terms of x.
x-y= 45
x= 45+y ---> substitute this to equation 1 to get value of y.
x+y=125
(45+y) +y=125
45+y+y= 125
2y=125-45
2y=80
y=40 ----- THIS IS THE SECOND NUMBER
substitute the 2nd number to equation 2.
x-y=45
x-40=45
x=45+40
x=85----> THIS IS THE FIRST NUMBER.
thus, c) the first number is 85, the second number is 40.
