The sum of two numbers is 66. the difference of the same two number is 38. what are the numbers?

37 and  29

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 66

x - y = 8

solve second equation for x

x = y + 8

substitute for x in first equation

y+8 +y = 66

2y = 58

y = 29

x - 29 = 8

x = 37

x = 37 and y = 29

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
