Question

Write down the pair of integers such that their sum is $24$ and difference is $4$.

Answer 1

Let the integers be $x$ and $y$.

Then according to the problem, we've,

$x+y=24$.....(1)

$x-y=4$.....(2).

Now solving (1) and (2) we get,

$x=\frac{24+4}{2}=14$ and $y=\frac{24-4}{2}=10$.

So the integers are $14$ and $10$.
