Two numbers have a sum of 23 and a difference of 9. Find the two numbers

The numbers are 16 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

x+y = 23

x-y = 9

Add the two equations together

x+y = 23

x-y = 9

2x = 32

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 32/2

x = 16

Now subtract the two equations

x+y = 23

-x +y = -9

2y = 14

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 14/2

y = 7

13

step-by-step explanation:

divide the cost of the total of sodas you bought by the cost of one soda, for example:

$24.57 divided by $1.89 is 13 which means you bought 13 sodas
