The Sum of Two Numbers is 60 and Their Difference is 5
x + y = 60
The difference between x and y is 5. In other words, x minus y equals 5 and can be written as equation B:x - y = 5
Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B: x - y = 5
x = 5 + y
x + y = 60
5 + y + y = 60
5 + 2y = 60
2y = 55
y = 27.5
x + y = 60
x + 27.5 = 60
X = 32.5
Sum: 32.5 + 27.5 = 60
Difference: 32.5 - 27.5 = 5
