The sum of two numbers is 65 and the difference is 41

12 and 53

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = one number

let 'y' = other number

System of Equations:

x + y = 65

x - y = 41

Substitution Method:

x = 41 + y

41 + y + y = 65

2y = 24

y = 12

x + 12 = 65

x  = 53

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
