The sum of two numbers is 70. their difference is two less than the smaller number. what are the numbers?

24 and 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smaller number

x+y =70

y-x =x-2

Add x to each side

y-x+x = x+x-2

y = 2x-2

Substitute into the first equation

x+y =70

x+ (2x-2) =70

Combine like terms

3x-2=70

Add 2 to each side

3x-2+2 = 70+2

3x = 72

Divide by 3

3x/3 =72/3

x = 24

y = 2x-2

y = 2(24)-2

y =48-2

y = 46
